    Oh this sounds amazing. I’d probably omit the green onions (I’ve never been an onion fan and always feel like they overpower whatever they’re in) but it all sounds so yummy. And using a rotisserie chicken just ups the convenience factor, which I wholeheartedly approve of. 🙂

    Sounds great. It is similar to what I do except I use walnuts and celery and often rotisserie chicken. Green onions is something I should add and try some of the spices and lemon. Thanks for sharing.
