Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, dill weed, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, and pickle juice.
2
Add the diced dill pickles to the bowl and stir everything together to create the dressing base.
3
Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to the bowl.
4
Using a hand mixer, blend the chicken with the dressing until it's fully combined and shredded to your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can fold it in with a spatula.
5
Taste the chicken salad and season with salt and pepper if needed. Note that the saltiness of the pickles may be sufficient.
6
Serve immediately with crackers, on a sandwich, or in a lettuce wrap.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Dice pickles and vegetables finely and evenly so each bite has balanced texture and flavor.
Reserve 1 tablespoon of dill pickle juice to brighten the dressing—it adds tang without extra salt.
Fold ingredients gently to avoid shredding the chicken further; mix just until combined.
Taste before adding salt since pickles and mustard contribute saltiness; add incrementally to avoid over-salting.

Substitutions

Mayonnaise → Greek yogurt or sour cream (note: use 3/4 cup Greek yogurt + 1/4 cup mayo to maintain creaminess and tang)
Dried dill weed → fresh dill (1 tablespoon chopped, added at the end) or 1/2 teaspoon ground dill seed
Dijon mustard → whole-grain mustard (same amount; slightly earthier flavor and visible seeds)
Red onion → white onion or shallots (note: reduce quantity by half as shallots are stronger)

Storage & make-ahead

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days; no reheating needed. To make ahead, prepare up to 1 day in advance and stir gently before serving.
