Rotisserie Chicken Salad Recipe

Hey there fit foodie! Today I want to show you a quick and easy way to use leftover rotisserie chickens to make a rotisserie chicken salad. You can use the rotisserie chicken breast or chicken thighs, depending on what you have more of on hand. Chicken breast is leaner, but chicken thighs are more juicy. Rather than making the chicken from scratch (which you absolutely cook with the aid of a slow cooker), store bought rotisserie chicken makes putting this together a breeze. Read on below for tips and tricks to make this recipe a success in your kitchen. This chicken salad is like what would happen if my two favorite things—guacamole and chicken salad—were to make a baby. The creaminess of the avocado is a great replacement for mayo, and the yogurt (I used regular but if you have Greek yogurt, that is a great alternative) and lime gives it just the right amount of tanginess. A dash of salt and pepper to taste and you have got yourself a winning recipe. Unfortunately chicken salad does not freeze well, so you’ll have to finish what you make within a few days. On the plus side, you can dress it up in multiple ways to make this a chicken salad recipe that puts all other salad recipes to shame. Make chicken salad sandwiches for your lunch this week, or use some whole wheat tortillas for rotisserie chicken salad pinwheels. For those who are watching their carb intake, you can grab some cool and crisp lettuce to make chicken salad lettuce wraps. Talk about versatile!
