This refreshing rendition of chicken salad gets its tropical flare from mix-ins like cilantro, pineapple, papaya, oranges, and red onion. Serve it with whole grain crackers or tortilla chips or over a bed of greens. You could even turn the mixture into lettuce wraps by spooning the salad into tender lettuce leaves. To make the recipe a wrap, choose whatever variety of lettuce leaf you prefer—romaine, iceberg, or green leaf. If you’re packing them to take-on-the-go, wait until you’re ready to eat before filling the lettuce leaves, so they stay crisp. Use any leftover chicken you have on hand from earlier in the week or you could also use chopped rotisserie chicken.
