Steps:
- 1. I use whatever chicken I have leftover. My husband loves it when I use cold KFC. You don't have to remove the breading or skin unless you want to. Just cube or chop into small pieces.

- 3. In a medium bowl mix Miracle Whip, salt, lemon juice and sugar until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add chopped ingredients. Refrigerate overnight.
- 4. Serve on fresh banana bread.
- 5. This is a great dish to take on picnics, and road trips. It always make a hit at potlucks and church socials or as a cold supper with a salad and jello.

Additional Cooking Instructions and Wrapping Up
Here are some extra cooking tips, tricks, and garnishing ideas to help you make the most of this delectable dish.
- To achieve a more flavorful and succulent chicken, consider using chicken thighs instead of breasts. Dark meat frequently has more taste than white meat.
- If you don't have shredded chicken on hand, you can use a roaster or rotisseried chicken from the store. Just be sure to remove the skin and shred the meat finely.
- If you want your dish to have a bit more of a kick, add a sprinkle of cayenne or chili powder.
- Garnish the finished product with a scattering of fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil. It will add more freshness and brightness to the meal.
