Create a quick salad by tossing together pulled rotisserie chicken, chopped hard-boiled eggs, grated cheddar cheese, chopped celery, green onion and mayo fortified with garlic and black pepper. Put some lettuce, maybe a slice of tomato or pickles on bread, add a large spoon of salad to each, and you’re ready for service.

Directions
Prepare chicken salad: In a large bowl, use rubber spatula to work together mayonnaise, mustard, pepper, garlic, celery, parsley and onions.
Add chicken and cheddar cheese to bowl. Mix thoroughly with other ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning aggressively, as flavors will be muted by bread, tomatoes, pickles and lettuce.
Gently fold in eggs to preserve the yolks appearance and texture.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
