Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe
I get bored with the same old salad a few times a week and like to mix up my options. I know I am more likely to eat more fresh greens or pack up salad to take to work if it doesn’t feel boring, and the yummy Asian dressing on our Chinese chicken salad recipe is anything but. To pack for being on the go, or to prep ahead of time, keep your dressing, chicken, crunchy toppings, and greens separate until it’s time to eat.

Jerk Chicken Mango Avocado Sliders Recipe
This recipe for our jerk chicken mango avocado sliders calls for cooking chicken in your Instant Pot, but if you already have rotisserie chicken, you can modify this recipe using only the dry ingredients for jerk chicken. Place the spices in a large sandwich bag, add in your shredded chicken, and shake it up! You can reheat leftover chicken in a skillet with some water or chicken stock and add the spices as well. Delicious!
