We love creating new recipes and spending time in the kitchen but with our busy schedules this is not always something we have time for. Sometimes we need a solution that is effortless and affordable, but that also provides a good meal for our family, so when I go grocery shopping at Walmart I always pick up a rotisserie chicken and some other Marketside items like their delicious potato salad! You get a meal that is ready to serve and that did not cost a fortune like takeouts do. I usually get a second rotisserie chicken and use it to make different easy and quick recipes like tacos, chicken salads and even chicken empanadas.
Today I want to share with you one of my favorite recipes to make with Walmart’s rotisserie chicken, I usually make this with leftovers. I really like chicken salad but I do not like all the extra calories the mayo adds to it so my version is made with avocados and a bit of yogurt instead of mayo and I also added some grilled pineapple chunks to give it a tropical and sweet flavor, perfect for this time of year.

We are gearing for the back to school routing, are you all as scared as I am? Every year there is more homework, more after school activities and less time to cooke a decent dinner. Picking up a rotisserie chicken at Walmart is a great solution and chicken is versatile. Even when it comes to this delicious chicken salad I created you can add new and exciting ingredients and serve on it’s own or put it on a sandwich like we did which is also a great solution to take on the go. This year I have vowed to skip the drive throughs so when we are headed to soccer practice and I know the kids will get hungry since it ends so late, I can make these sandwiches in just a few minutes and take them with us.
