• Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the cooked and shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, diced onion, lemon juice, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
• Step 2: Taste the chicken salad and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to achieve your desired flavor profile.
• Step 3: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional, but it helps the flavors develop further.
• Step 4: Serve the deli-style chicken salad on bread, lettuce wraps, or crackers. Enjoy!
