Name: Chunky Barbecued Chicken Salad Peterson
Yield: Serves 4

"I usually make way too much barbecued chicken and devised the following recipe for leftovers," says Louise A. Peterson of Brooklyn, New York.

We tested this recipe with barbecued chicken and also with plain grilled chicken and found both to be delicious. You might even just buy a rotisserie chicken.
