  • Cook the chicken thoroughly before adding it to the salad. This will help prevent the spread of harmful bacteria.
  • Chill the chicken salad for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to set.
  • Serve the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce or other greens. This will add freshness and crunch to the dish.
  • Garnish the chicken salad with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
