Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Rotisserie Chicken
  • 1 C Artichoke Hearts
  • 1 10 oz Box Cherry Tomato
  • 2 C Packed Spinach
  • 1 C Cilantro Walnut Pesto (link above!)

Instructions

  1. Shred up entire rotisserie chicken into small bite size pieces. To be extra careful I always cook the chicken in a sauté pan for another 10 minutes on med-high.

  2. Drain and loosely chop the artichoke hearts (in water or oil- you pick) and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Rip the spinach apart into smaller pieces and PACK it into a measuring cup after shredding it up.

  3. In a large bowl combine all ingredients and a cup of the cilantro pesto sauce (easy to make takes 10 minutes) mix together. Add salt and pepper to taste, top with red pepper flakes for a little heat!

Recipe Notes

Whole30 - Home cooked whole chicken is best, watch the ingredients if buying a pre baked bird. Use artichokes packed in water vs oil
