Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken and discard it. Carefully pull the meat from the bones and shred into bite-sized pieces. Place the shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the dressing.
Slice the celery stalks thinly and finely chop the red onion. Add them to the bowl with the shredded chicken.
Roughly chop the almonds and add them to the chicken mixture for a crunchy texture.
Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken mixture and toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are well coated.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and fold it into the salad.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed according to taste.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
