Notes
• This is a great use for leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken – use any already cooked chicken, cubed, shredded, or diced.
• Use your favorite Caesar dressing – we love Ken’s light or the new yogurt Caesar dressings you can find these days. The most important thing is to use what you love!
