Tips for the Best Chicken Salad

• Choose Quality Chicken: For the best texture, use rotisserie or poached chicken breast, which keeps the salad juicy.
• Adjust Creaminess: Add extra mayonnaise for a creamier texture or use Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter option.
• Add Texture: Mix in chopped nuts, like almonds or pecans, or diced apples for added crunch and flavor.
