Chicken Salad

Furthermore, I would like to give some tips for this recipe. Firstly, you can also just poach some boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs in salted water for the salad. Always try to use chicken breasts because it is loaded with full of protein. Even you can also use the leftover chicken from a roast chicken for this salad. Finally, you can also add any salad veggies for this recipe.
