We had half of a store-bought rotisserie chicken leftover in the fridge. Although delicious while hot, store-bought rotisserie chickens are usually not so great cold. Yesterday, I used the leftover chicken to make a simple chicken salad — the salad took about 7 minutes to make, and turned out to be a very tasty way to eat the leftover chicken!
Here’s how:
Shred the chicken by hand, put in a large bowl:
Add to the chicken: juice of 1 lemon, 1 small red onion (minced), 1 tablespoon of mustard, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (I like the Organic Mayonnaise with Olive Oil from Spectrum), and a handful of cilantro, chopped finely. Mix well, and salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy! The salad is great for a picnic or lunch, over some salad.
I just bought a rotisserie chicken today and can’t wait to try this! Love your blog 🙂
Thank you! Bon appetit!
