Chicken: I like using rotisserie chicken because it is convenient and flavorful, but any cooked and shredded chicken breast will work.

Mayonnaise: For a lighter option, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt.

Sour Cream: I used dairy-free sour cream to keep this recipe dairy-free. However, if you are not lactose-intolerant, go ahead and use regular sour cream instead.

Condiments: For flavor, I’ve added black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. However, feel free to add other seasonings if you prefer.

Pickled Jalapeños: Since this is a recipe for chicken salad with jalapeños, pickled jalapeños are a key ingredient, so make sure to add them in. Feel free to add more jalapeños if you like a bigger kick of heat. You can either make your own pickled jalapeños or use store-bought jalapeños.

Celery: The crunch of celery contrasts well with the creaminess of the chicken-mayonnaise mixture, so definitely make sure to add it in!
