Rotisserie Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe that utilizes the delicious and convenient flavors of a rotisserie chicken! Made with apples and raisins for amazing flavor and crunch! Don’t forget the secret ingredient!
All moms need a little help in the kitchen from time to time – at least I do! I have found that purchasing a Rotisserie Chicken is cost-effective and very versatile. I can usually get at least two meals out of one chicken and the meat is moist and flavorful. One recipe that I like to make is Rotisserie Chicken Salad Sandwiches.
It takes minutes to prepare and tastes delicious. Using apples and raisins create great texture and crunch as well as added sweetness.
Ingredients:
2 c chopped, cooked chicken
1 c diced apple (I use Gala)
1/2 c raisins
1/4 c mayonnaise
1 tsp celery seed
salt and pepper to taste
bread (your choice)
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until the mayonnaise is evenly incorporated. Chill for at least thirty minutes.
Serve on your choice of bread with lettuce or sprouts. I love this recipe on Sourdough Walnut Wheat Bread – yum! This is really the perfect weeknight meal and the flavors are so lovely – delicious and nutritious!
This delicious and easy recipe is one of several that inspired my new book 100 Creative Ways to Use Rotisserie Chicken in Everyday Meals. I love using rotisserie chicken to create meals that my family will love. You’ll find casseroles, bakes, comfort food, soups, sandwiches and more!
I have an entire chapter devoted to meals you can can create in 20 minutes or less and another devoted to recipes with 5 ingredients or less. This cookbook is filled with simple and fast recipes that your whole family will love. Check it out!

I love rotisserie chickens too. Fresh Market makes their chicken salad with it. Yummy. So, instead of adding an apple and raisins (since fruit with meat will ferment in your stomach–fruit should be eaten alone), I will add pecans. Thanks!

I adore rotisserie chickens. I just bought an extra this week to make chicken salad with. Never thought of adding raisins, though! 🙂

Visiting from I should be Mopping the floor. This looks delish! I love to use rotisserie chicken in many different dishes that call for cooked chicken.

We had a rotisserie chicken lately, two meals first night. With part of the leftovers I made a chicken pot pie, using crescent roll dough as the crust. There’s still one breast left to make chicken salad out of. They really are a good deal if you’re up to take the time to pull all the meat off the bones after the first time it’s served.
