    Healthy Uses for Rotisserie Chicken

    I don't know about you, but rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is my favorite easy dinner hack!  I rarely just serve it as it, though I have been know to just cut off a piece and toss some chips on a plate and call it done.

    My favorite way to use it is in healthy recipes that use cooked chicken, like these Healthy Chicken and Corn Nachos, or this Chicken, Cucumbers and Sweet Peppers Salad or this Chicken and Sweet Potato Farro Salad.

    For today's recipe I turned to  So Easy from Ellie Krieger with her Curried Chicken Salad.

    Healthy Lunch Recipe

    Thanks to a well stocked fridge and pantry, I had everything I needed to make this salad!  I love the combination of grapes, almonds and cilantro.  The dressing is made with yogurt, mayonnaise and curry powder.

    This would make an excellent salad for those of you that take a lunch to work, my husband likes to take his in a Packit Freezable Lunch Bag.  Or if like me you work from home, this was even better the next day.  Just right before serving scoop it out onto a bed of greens.  She also recommends serving it with pita chips, which I didn't have.

    Easy Healthy Curried Chicken Salad

     

    Since I didn't have any pita chips, I served it with a piece of baguette.  It was perfect!  Light and tasty with plenty of flavor.  Lot's of texture contrasts from the almonds to the grapes.  We loved it!

    Here are a few more chicken salads you might like:  Easy Chicken Salad and Tarragon Chicken Salad  or this Low-Carb Greek Peperoncini Chicken Salad from Kalyn's Kitchen also sounds amazing!

    Ingredients

    • ¼ cup sliced almonds
    • ½ cup nonfat plain yogurt
    • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    • 1 teaspoon curry powder
    • 2 ½ cups cubed cooked chicken breasts
    • 1 cup halved red grapes

    • 5 ounces mixed greens
    • 4 lemon wedges
    • 4 ounces pita chips

    Instructions

    • When you are ready to serve. Put a scoop of the chicken salad on a bed of greens and sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Add a lemon wedge to squeeze over the greens right before eating. Serve with pita chips.

      I made the salad yesterday with our leftover chicken. The curry seasoning was perfect for it. Hubby loved it and we have enough left over for today. Lucky us.

      I love using rotisserie chicken as well. You can't beat a fully cooked chicken for $5! Your recipe looks perfect!

      This is a much nicer version of a dish we know here (and also in England) as Coronation Chicken. I'll be filing this one for summer.

      I LOVE curried chicken salad...I usually mix in golden raisins instead of grapes, but mostly its because of what I have in the house. This looks SO delicious! I could go for this for lunch! Need some company?
