Jalapeno Popper Chicken Salad
I am a HUGE fan of chicken salads, especially during the Summer months when I do not feel like heating up the kitchen. They are quick and easy to throw together and they taste delicious!
This dish is also great to take to those potlucks or BBQ get-togethers you keep getting invited to but do not know what to bring. This is a definite crowd pleaser. And although... this recipe is called jalapeno popper chicken salad, it really isn't that spicy so don't let the name fool you.
This recipe calls for cooked chicken breasts so if you really want a shortcut, use rotisserie chicken found at your local grocery store. Remove the skin and bones and use the breast meat. Or if you have a Costco near you, Costco sells rotisserie chicken breast meat already cooked and shredded for you. I actually used leftover grilled chicken from the day before, but you can use the cooking method of your choice.
Combine all the yummy ingredients in a large bowl and stir until combined. I added this delicious seasoning from Feast Mode Flavors to my chicken salad which made it taste even better! It is one of my favorite seasonings from this company! I should know because I have almost every flavor! I am kind of addicted! Check them out!
