Directions
Rainier Cherry Chicken Salad was just begging to be made as I cased the sale table at my local Sprouts. Great deal on these beautiful “new to me” cherries. So I grabbed them all while thinking about the rest of those pesky rotisserie chicken leftovers.
SPECIAL NOTE: Substitute any cherry variety or blueberries for the rainier cherries if you cannot find them!
Alternatives & Options
Greek Yogurt Alternative
For Paleo and Whole30, use 2 TBs of Whole30 Mayo or omit and add 1 more TB of the mustard and mix to incorporate.
Options – this ingredient list is optional. I like a lot of flavors and different textures in my chicken salad – along with something slightly sweet – enter cherries idea!
If you have any questions at all regarding options or maybe you want to ask if something else you have laying around would work, hit me up via email.
Did you know you can make rotisserie-like chicken in the Instant Pot?? Oh, honey YES!
SOLTO’s Rotisserie Chicken in the Instant Pot
But don’t worry, I ain’t mad because you want to use already made chicken from your grocery store. But remember, 99% of those rotisserie chickens are NOT whole30 or paleo due to the 1 billion ingredients they inject or smother on the skin – sugar, corn products, etc. – Even the all natural chickens have cane sugar – BELIEVE IT OR READ THE DANG INGREDIENTS! =)
