Skip the bread and crackers and scoop this sweet and savory chicken salad into the center of melon halves instead. Speckled with the chopped red onion and green bell pepper, this classic has plenty of crunch, but you could also stir in chopped celery if you’d like. We used green grapes here but feel free to use the red variety instead—just make sure they’re seedless. You can make the chicken salad up to 2 days ahead; store in the refrigerator, and fill the cantaloupe halves right before serving. Use either a rotisserie chicken or any leftover chicken stashed in your fridge to keep this recipe simple.
