Easy Chicken Salad Made With Store Bought Rotisserie Chicken
Need a super quick and simple lunch or dinner? It doesn’t get much easier than this chicken salad, and it’s fantastic for meal-prepping!
Our little cheat is using a store bought rotisserie chicken. Let’s be honest, these rotisserie chickens are so much tastier than homemade. Yeah, I said it.
Or if you are even lazier needing an even quicker chicken salad, Costco sells already pulled chicken next to their rotisserie chickens. I totally buy it.
