Notes
- If you don't have a rotisserie chicken and need to make shredded chicken, season chicken tenderloins or chicken breasts with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place on a baking sheet with a rack on top and coat with oil or nonstick spray. Bake the chicken at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F at the thickest part of the chicken. You can either slice the chicken up or shred it. Pro tip: use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to easily shred your chicken!
- This crispy sesame chicken recipe is also a perfect chicken to make and enjoy the salad with if you don't prefer shredded chicken.
