Ready to make the magic happen? Here’s how you can whip up Dunkin’ Donuts-inspired chicken salad right in your own kitchen.

Start by gathering all the ingredients. Cleanup is easier when everything is in one place. Be sure to pick up a delicious rotisserie chicken—it’s the key to a quick meal.

Take your cooked rotisserie chicken and chop it into bite-sized pieces. You don’t want the chicken to dominate each bite, so keep it reasonably small.

Next, finely chop the celery and red onion. Be gentle with the red onion; too much can overpower the salad. Now, dice the Granny Smith apple. Don’t forget to remove the core!

Time to bring in some crispy goodness. Cook the bacon strips until they’re golden and crispy. Let them cool, then crumble them into pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, celery, red onion, apple, crumbled bacon, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries.

In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. This dressing is where the flavor comes together. Blend until smooth.

Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss everything until well combined. It should look creamy and inviting.

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together, bringing you that restaurant-quality taste.

When you’re ready, serve the salad in flaky croissants or on a bed of lettuce. Enjoy it as a light lunch or a hearty snack!
