Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (about 3 pounds) rotisserie chicken
- 6 cups (chopped) romaine lettuce
- 2 cups (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 large (diced) avocado
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) red onion
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble into smaller pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced red onion, shredded chicken, and crumbled bacon.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, chopped chives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
If desired, top the salad with croutons for added crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
