The other weekend, we had family over and enjoyed some BBQ chicken for lunch. We had so much leftover, that TJ and I were determined to incorporate it into a dinner of some sorts… and since we’ve been on quite the salad kick lately, we opted for BBQ chicken chopped salads. It was full of flavor, hearty, and we liked it so much, we ended up making it on Monday night for dinner as well (and enough for Tuesday lunch…)….
And, as we approach the holiday weekend ahead, I also think it would make a great side salad for any get togethers you might have!
If you try it, I hope you enjoy and have a great day ahead!
