Transform a store-bought rotisserie chicken into a spiced, crunchy, fresh, and creamy dinner salad with this recipe, reminiscent of a street food favorite. Iceberg lettuce provides a perfectly crisp and sturdy bed for spice-oil-tossed chicken, salty pita chips, and a rich yogurt dressing.

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • ½ tsp. dried oregano

  • ½ tsp. ground coriander

  • ½ tsp. ground cumin

  • ½ tsp. ground turmeric

  • 3 garlic cloves, finely grated, divided

  • 4 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, divided

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (from about 1 lb.)

  • 1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more

  • 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • ½ tsp. sugar

  • Freshly ground pepper

  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes

  • 1 large head of iceberg lettuce

  • 1 cup salted pita chips

Step 1

Heat ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil in a small saucepan over medium. Add ½ tsp. dried oregano, ½ tsp. ground coriander, ½ tsp. ground cumin, and ½ tsp. ground turmeric and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Quickly transfer to a medium bowl and whisk in 1 garlic clove, finely grated, and 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice. Add 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (from about 1 lb.) and toss to coat; season with kosher salt. Set aside.

Step 2

Whisk 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt, ¼ cup mayonnaise, ½ tsp. sugar, remaining 2 garlic cloves, finely grated, 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, and 1 tsp.  or ½ tsp.    kosher salt in a small bowl to combine; season dressing with freshly ground pepper.

Step 3

Combine 1 small red onion, thinly sliced, and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes in a small bowl. Season with salt; toss to coat.

Step 4

Cut 1 large head of iceberg lettuce into 6 wedges; cut each wedge into 3 pieces. Pour three fourths of dressing on a platter; top with lettuce and reserved chicken, then onion mixture and 1 cup salted pita chips. Drizzle remaining dressing over and season generously with pepper.
