Notes
- What chicken to use? You can use freshly cooked chicken, leftover chicken, or rotisserie chicken for this salad. It’s fine to dice or shred the meat, although I prefer the texture of shredded chicken.
- Low carb option: Instead of serving it on bread, try a keto-friendly wrap or add the chicken salad to a lettuce cup. You can even just eat the salad as it is. It’s so fresh and crisp!
- Store any leftover chicken salad in an airtight container for 3-5 days in the fridge.
- I don’t recommend freezing chicken salad. It can separate when it thaws and becomes watery, losing its creamy texture and taste. However, you can freeze the cooked chicken, then just defrost it in the refrigerator the day before you want to make the salad and add the other fresh ingredients just before serving.
