Instructions
- On a large cutting board, dice chicken into large chunks. Top the diced chicken with garlic aioli mayonnaise and dill.
- Use a large chef's knife and rubber spatula to chop/mix ingredients until you get the perfect consistency. I sometimes add 1-2 tablespoons of additional aioli mayonnaise if needed.

- Taste test the chicken salad, and add addition aioli mayo if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
Rotisserie chicken is my go-to for this recipe
I typically add 1-2 additional tablespoons of garlic aioli mayonnaise and about 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
I recommend Primal Kitchen Garlic Aioli Mayonnaise, it can be found at most grocery stores. As a budget/easier to find option, Hellman's has a version of this sauce as well.
