Instructions
Begin by removing the skin from the rotisserie chicken and shredding the meat into bite-sized pieces. Measure out 3 cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced celery, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain non-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until smooth.
