Notes
- Make sure you cut everything into small pieces so that every spoonful has a little bit of everything.
- Top with some fresh herbs for an extra pop of color and flavor.
- If you’re out of chicken and have leftover turkey, it makes for the perfect swap!
- If you are using a rotisserie chicken, be sure to remove the skin before cutting up the meat.
- I suggest using freshly squeezed lemon juice as bottled juice doesn’t have the same fresh bright flavor to it.
- Feel free to swap the pecans out for almonds or walnuts.
- Sweet onions or green onions can be swapped for red onions.
- Add a pinch of curry powder to change things up.
