Spicy Chicken and Rice Salad

Seems like the buzz word this year is PROTEIN, so this Spicy Chicken and Rice Salad totally fits the bill! It's got a whole shredded rotisserie chicken and some added spice from chili crunch to rev up that metabolism! Perfect for your weekly meal prep!
I guess I’ve been living under a rock, because I totally missed the viral Costco scallion chicken salald with rice. Have you guys heard of it?
I was on Facebook or Instagram, can’t remember which, and I came across Arash from ShredHappens who was sharing it. I was totally intrigued. I haven’t been living under a rock when it comes to the buzz word “protein” though. It seems like that’s all I’ve been hearing about. Protein this, protein that.
I know it’s super important for all of us to get our protein in everyday, but even more so for women my age, so when I saw that this salad contained one whole shredded rotisserie chicken I was in. I shared it today with just some jasmine rice because I had it on hand, but to pack in even more protein you can make this with some quinoa, farro or brown rice.
