Preparation

Step 1

You can either use a rotisserie chicken and shred it or bake your own and shred it. 

To cook your own:
Place 2 chicken breasts into a baking pan with 1/4 cup chicken broth. Cover lightly with foil and bake for 50-60 minutes until cooked through.  Let rest for 15 minutes before shredding.

Finely chop 2 small stalks of celery.  Add bacon slices, Gorgonzola, mayonnaise and blue cheese dressing. 

Place all ingredients into a large bowl. Stir to combine. Taste and season with additional seasonings if needed.
