Where to find ingredients
Shredded chicken: Use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from your local supermarket's hot deli section. Celery and apples are widely available in the fresh produce aisle. For the best result, use a high-quality, full-fat mayonnaise and a plain, thick-style yoghurt. Fresh basil and parsley can be found in the herb section of any grocery store or local farmers' market.
Preparation method
- Carefully shred the entire rotisserie chicken
- In a large bowl, combine the raisins and the chopped celery
- Toss the apple cubes with the lemon juice to prevent browning
- Add the apple to the bowl with the shredded chicken
- Whisk the yoghurt and mayonnaise together in a separate small bowl to create the dressing
- Season the creamy dressing with freshly torn basil leaves
- Fold the dressing into the chicken mixture
- Gently stir everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated
- Finish with a sprig of fresh parsley before serving
