Smoked Chicken Salad Recipe
Smoked Chicken Salad has quickly become one of my favorites to take in my lunch for at work! Lately, I have been eating better kick, mainly cutting out a lot of conveniences and fast food, so reusing my leftover smoked into other recipes has been a lunch saver!
Now the old lady is usually the one who comes up with some of the lunch ideas so I need to give her full credit for realizing how amazing this would be!! We now do once a week smoke chicken and intentionally have leftovers to make up for this. It has yet to fail me on a good lunch, and she seems to find a new way to change it up every week, so it is never dull.

How To Make Smoked Chicken Salad
I shared how I love to smoke my chicken breast (see it -> here). This chicken was smoked on myPit Boss Pro 1100 from Lowes, if you don’t have Lowes, Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or the Pit Boss website. I love that I can set it at 225 with smoke and run inside and take a shower or prep sides, and it just cooks my meat with a fantastic smoke flavor!
