Apple Cider Vinaigrette Chicken Salad is my favorite quick Fall dinner. This simple chicken salad is elevated with fresh red onions and apples, combined with delicious glazed pecans and Gorgonzola cheese, and is completed with a fresh apple cider vinaigrette. The best part of this recipe is using rotisserie chicken which means you do not have to turn your oven on. This is also a great salad to meal prep for lunch the next day (just keep the dressing on the side).
