Tips

  • You can shred the chicken or leave some in chunks based on preference.
  • Seasonings will dry out the mixture, so add more mayonnaise as needed.
  • Taste as you go; you can always add salt but cannot take it away.
  • Allow the chicken salad to get cold and marinate for flavors to combine overnight.
