  • Serve: Top it with fresh herbs then serve in lettuce wraps, on a bed of greens, or on your favorite bread with more cilantro, green onions, or cashews.

Notes

Note 1. Poach chicken breasts instead of rotisserie chicken: To poach chicken breasts, add them to a pot then cover with cold water. Season with salt then turn the stove to medium-high heat to bring to a light boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Drain, cool and shred or cube.
