  • Use a non-stick skillet or lightly grease a regular skillet to prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.

  • Allow the chicken to cool slightly before shredding it. This will make it easier to handle.
  • Use a sharp knife to dice the celery and onion. This will help prevent them from becoming mushy in the salad.
  • Taste the salad dressing before adding it to the salad. You may need to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. If you are chilling the salad, be sure to stir it well before serving.
