Rotisserie Chicken Salad Recipe
A store bought Rotisserie chicken makes a delicious, fast and easy meal but my favorite way of eating a rotisserie chicken is to make a Rotisserie Chicken Salad.
This Rotisserie Chicken Salad recipe is packed full of flavor.
A while ago my daughter Megan was telling me about the Rotisserie Chicken Salad she bought at Sweetbay.
Sweetbay was one of the grocery stores here.
About a year ago Winn Dixie took over all the Sweetbay stores. My daughter was devastated. All she cared about was that she wouldn’t be able to buy her favorite rotisserie chicken salad anymore.
Up until that point, I am not really sure if I ever made a chicken salad recipe.
I know I never used a rotisserie chicken to make a chicken salad sandwich. I love a nice tuna salad or egg salad sandwich once in a while but for some reason, I never really made a chicken salad recipe. It could be because our leftover chicken never lasts long enough for me to make a salad with it.
Being the nice mom that I am I decided to try to replicate the Rotisserie Chicken Salad that my daughter loved so much.
I made my own rotisserie chicken salad recipe a few times and when I thought I had it right I shared it with Megan.
Well, the rotisserie chicken salad she loved so much didn’t have olives in it! Oh my…. you would think I committed a federal offense. My daughters are like that. No deviations allowed. Not even with a chicken salad recipe.
So if you are highly offended by olives (like my daughter is) in your chicken salad please feel free to leave them out.
I love olives in my chicken or tuna salad and I will continue to add them to this Rotisserie Chicken Salad because it tastes so good I buy a rotisserie chicken every couple of weeks so I can enjoy it myself.
This Rotisserie Chicken Salad tastes great in a wrap or on a ciabatta bun. Serve it with my Broccoli & Tomato Pasta Salad recipe and you have a nice little meal.
