Leftover chicken meat from home-roasted or store-bought rotisserie chicken* can be transformed into something new and wonderful. Curry powder and mango chutney gives this salad a sweet yet spicy kick, and the bell pepper and green onions add a nice crunch.
*Instead of chicken, you can use potatoes as a vegetarian option!
