There are lots of recipes for chicken salad, but this is Ree’s current favorite and uses rotisserie chicken as a convenient shortcut. The dressing uses all pantry ingredients, which means this dish can be on the table in around 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, chili powder and paprika. To a large bowl add the chicken, then, reserving a little of each for garnish, add the pickled jalapeños, pickles and green onions. Pour over about two-thirds of the dressing and fold in. Add the Cheddar and continue folding until combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the reserved, jalapeños, pickles and green onions.
To serve, add a couple leaves of iceberg to a plate. Top with a scoop of the chicken salad, garnish with white onion slices and place the Texas toast on the side.
