Rotissoire Chicken Salad Recipe

Salads for dinner aren’t typically my favorite since they don’t feel me up, unless of course it’s a good chicken salad recipe that has chicken and black beans.  The other night was one of those nights that I had no clue what to make for dinner and I needed something simple.  I looked in the fridge and found tomatoes, olives, carrots, and this salad mix that needed using:

So I asked my husband if he would pick up a rotissoire chicken, we mixed everything together, named our meal “Rotissoire Chicken Salad,” and all was well again at our house.

Great chicken salad recipe for nights you have no time to make dinner

I feel weird calling this a recipe since it’s a salad, but here’s the ingredients I used:

Lettuce (I used Costco’s organic spring mix)

Shredded carrots 

Sliced olives

Black beans

Diced tomatoes

Shredded Cheese

Rotissoire Chicken (cut up in bite-sized pieces)

*bell pepper, cucumber, avacado, or green onions might also be good in this salad…but I just used what I had on hand.

I mixed my lettuce, cheese, and carrots together and left everything else on the side to be added on to each plate so that I could pack leftovers for my husband’s lunch without it being soggy the next day.

Rotissoire Chicken Salad Dressing

I just used ranch that we had in the fridge, but if you wanted to make this a Southwestern salad you could add chips and corn to the salad and use southwestern dressing (equal parts ranch & BBQ sauce, or mayonnaise/plain greek yogurt mixed with equal parts ranch & taco seasoning).

Surprisingly, even the toddler enjoyed it!  I use kitchen shears to cut her salad up into teeny tiny micro pieces so that the “lettuce texture” doesn’t turn her off 🙂

What’s your favorite chicken salad recipe?

One of my favorites is this Southwestern chopped Chicken Salad recipe that I found on Pinterest.  Maybe next time I’ll just throw the Rotissoire chicken straight into this recipe and see how I like it Southwestern style!
