A store-bought rotisserie chicken means almost no cooking (all you have to do is boil the eggs and crisp up the bacon). This looks beautiful and tastes great, so it's suitable for entertaining. It's also adaptable to the ingredients you have on hand, since the base dressing goes great with everything.
