Breathing New Life into leftover Poultry.
When I make chicken salad it’s normally because I’ve got some leftover chicken that is kinda dry and unappealing on it’s own. Breast, thighs or even a leftover rotisserie chicken from the store. You can add some mayo and whatever else you’ve got in the fridge and boom, your boring chicken has new life.
Even though I make chicken salad all the time I never seem to make the same recipe twice. Since the weather was getting colder and fall is in the air I wanted some warmer flavors like cinnamon along with some crunch from roasted pumpkin seeds.
