Shred the rotisserie chicken with help from someone else.

Wash and prepare two sticks of celery by chopping them.

Put the shredded chicken in the fridge to cool down.

Cut large grapes into quarters; if smaller, cut in half.

Use about half of the bag of grapes, which equals one vine full.

Chop up the pecans; they can be bought pre-chopped.

Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, and grapes into a mixing bowl.

Measure and add 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, and 2 Tbsp of ranch dressing to the bowl.

Taste and adjust the mixture as needed, adding pecans to your preference.

Plate the salad on top of saltine crackers or any crackers you have.
