Notes
*You can use any leftover cooked chicken, canned chicken in water, or rotisserie chicken. Remove skin and shred chicken breast or thighs into small peices if using rotisserie. A standard rotisserie chicken produces about three cups of chicken.
This recipe can be made in advance. Keep the sauce separate from the chicken coleslaw until ready to serve. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about three days.
