Where to find ingredients
Rotisserie chicken can be found at any local deli or supermarket rotisserie section. For the celery, look in the fresh produce aisle. Use any firm, crisp apple variety available in your local grocery store. For the yogurt, a plain unsweetened variety from the dairy section works best; if you have trouble finding simple natural yogurt, a plain Greek-style yogurt is a great substitute. Fresh herbs like basil and parsley are easily picked up in the produce section or from a local garden.
Preparation method
- Carefully shred all of the roasted chicken
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the raisins together with the chopped celery
- Drizzle the diced apple with lime juice to keep it from browning
- Add the apple pieces to the bowl with the shredded chicken
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the yogurt and mayonnaise together to make the dressing
- Season the creamy dressing with chopped fresh basil leaves
- Fold the dressing into the chicken and vegetable mixture
- Gently stir everything together until well coated and creamy
- Finish with a sprig of fresh parsley before serving
