Notes

  • I usually marinate the chicken before roasting and shredding it for the salad. This makes the chicken flavorful and does not taste bland.
  • I always use boneless, skinless chicken breasts to make this chicken salad. They tend to yield the best texture.
  • I let the chicken salad sit overnight in the refrigerator before consuming it. This step ensures that all the flavors are completely blended.
  • I find that adding a pinch of brown sugar perfectly balances the flavors. You can also experiment with different sweeteners in the salad, like honey or maple syrup.
