# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They're ready in 25 minutes but taste like you spent all afternoon fussing.
  • Every bite has texture—crisp celery, creamy chicken, tangy cheese that actually contrasts instead of blending into a dull paste.
02 -
  • Celery wilts fast once it's filled, so only assemble right before serving unless you want them droopy and sad.
  • The quality of your blue cheese actually matters here—cheap crumbles can taste plasticky, so splurge on the good stuff and you'll taste the difference immediately.
03 -
  • Buy a rotisserie chicken and you cut your total time in half—this is a no-judgment shortcut that makes you smarter, not lazy.
  • If your celery pieces are hollow and wide, you can fit more filling, so choose your stalks strategically depending on how generous you want to be.
