Tips
- To get smaller pieces and chunks of chicken, shred the chicken by hand.
- Add a little mayonnaise, you can always add more if you want it to be creamier.
- Cook the bacon a little bit under your desired doneness, because it will be cooked more once you start candying it.
- When candying the bacon, make sure to coat both sides for about a minute on each side.
- Season your tomatoes.
