All of our chicken salads make great quick dinners, atop a bed of lettuce as here or inside a sandwich. If you don't have any leftover cooked chicken and dont have time to cook, store-bought rotisserie chicken is just the thing.

Our Pairing Suggestion

A Sauvignon Blanc from California, riper and with more melon and fig flavors than those from France, is what you want for a tasty match. A touch of oakiness helps, too. Wines labeled Fumé Blanc are more likely to be made in this style than those simply called Sauvignon Blanc.
