If there is one thing that is difficult to do in hot weather, it is turn on the oven. Slaving over a hot stove really isn’t all that appealing either. Even thinking about cooking can feel like a big task if you are baking yourself from the heat within your own house.. This recipe I put together for chicken salad as part of the Kraft Tastemakers blogging partnership offers up characteristics that are impossible not to love in the summer. By using leftover store bought rotisserie chicken, this recipe can be prepared in a just a few minutes. It is the perfect option for your next get together, picnic or just a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
Pair it with some fresh fruit , veggies and dip, chips and salsa or corn on the cob and you’ve got a great mealtime solution, any day of the week!
Sweet and Crunchy Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup KRAFT Miracle Whip Dressing
- 1/2 teaspoon salad supreme seasoning
- 1 cup chopped leftover cooked rotisserie chicken
- 2 tablespoons chopped PLANTERS pecans
- 1/2 cup grapes sliced in half horizontally
- 1 stalk celery finely chopped
Instructions
-
Stir Miracle Whip dressing and salad supreme in medium bowl until well blended. Mix in remaining ingredients. Chill until serving.
-
Serve with crackers or on your favorite bread such as croissants, dinner rolls or hoagie buns.
If you are not already familiar with salad supreme seasoning, look for it within your grocer’s spice aisle. It is a mixture of romano cheese, salt, paprika, pepper, garlic, sesame seeds and more. It is perfect for seasoning any mayo or MIRACLE WHIP dressing for pasta salads. I also love it for seafood salad.
There are many options in which to serve this chicken salad. Tastes fabulous on croissants, dinner rolls or even just with crackers. Other ingredient options that would work well include chopped apple, dried cranberries, bacon or walnuts. Also works great served with lettuce and tomato! You can tailor it to your families preferences.

This is a very delicious recipe for the summertime. I can make this up and have it cold. What a terrific recipe to make for my family! Thanks for sharing!
I hate turning on the oven in summertime too!
I like that you have grapes and pecans in here–sounds like a nice flavor combination.
This recipe sounds really good! I love chicken salad but I’ve never tried putting pecans or grapes in mine. Not sure the hubby would like that but it sounds interesting enough to try it out. Thanks.
looks like it should be on the front of a magazine !:)
Courtney, you are just so kind to my ego. 🙂
Just love this recipe!! Reminds me of a similar one from my Grandmother she used to make and I had forgotten about. Thanks for reminding me!
Love the idea of adding grapes and nuts to chicken salad. I’m imagining how interesting that would make the salad, both in terms of taste and texture. Thanks!
That looks delicious!
I’m a big fan of chicken salad. I’ve never put celery in it, though. I’m definitely going to try that!
What a wonderful way to use up chicken and it can be served so many ways! Delicious!

This sounds so good especially with the pecans in it. Will have to try making this for my family we always have leftover chicken will try it soon.
I haven’t tried the salad supreme seasoning so I’ll look for it next time I’m in the spice isle. Yummy looking salad
Oh yes, I’ll be trying this. I like the Miracle Whip made with olive oil, so I’ll be using that.
My husband and our two sons enjoy rotisserie chicken a lot…
Honestly, we have never thought about using the chicken
for chicken salad!
Thanks, Cindi
My favorite way to have Chicken Salad is with grapes and nuts. Yummy.
When grapes are really pricey I have also used dried cranberries or apples.
This may sound sad, but I have never made my own chicken salad! This easy recipe could be my first move to do so!!
Yummy!
I loooove curry chicken salad with grapes and dried apricots! I will have to make this recipe soon though, looks great!
