Jerk Chicken Salad
This Jamaican inspired jerk chicken salad is packed full of tropical flavorful! It’s creamy, spicy, and so dang good! I typically make this recipe with a regular ole’ rotisserie chicken but you could also use leftover chopped jerk chicken, grilled chicken or pulled boiled chicken. As for serving it, it's up to you! Try putting it on a toasted brioche bun, atop some lettuce greens, or stuffed into a tomato.
