It’s time for us to reveal our Supper Club Menu for our Summer Picnic.
Here are the Best Picnic Basket Recipes for a fun and relaxing summer picnic. I’m sharing a refreshing Rotisserie Chicken Salad served in a toasty croissant.
My Supper Club Friends are all sharing their best Picnic Basket Recipes as well. If you are joining me from Stacy Ling at Bricks N Blooms, you have already seen her delicious cucumber sandwiches. Thanks for joining me. Be sure to check out all the other recipes as well.
Picnic Basket Rotisserie Chicken Salad
Do you like rotisserie chicken? Using a precooked chicken in the salad really helps to cut down on the time. Plus, it’s super easy when you have an extra set of hands in the kitchen.

Simple Recipes Ingredients
This is really such a simple recipe to make. You do want to shred your chicken into small pieces. Then chop your onion, celery and pecans finely. Lastly, wash and halve your seedless grapes.
Place all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir together until all ingredients are well coated in the mayonnaise mixture.
Fill your Picnic Basket
This delicious recipe is perfect alone but for our picnic I filled some flakey croissants and added them to our picnic basket.
I crinkled some parchment paper to cover the croissants and keep them fresh.
