Recipe Tips and Notes
- When using lemon juice, make sure you’re getting the juice from a freshly squeezed lemon (or lime)! The flavor from an actual lemon is always fresher and more delicious than the bottled juice.
- Allowing the chicken salad to sit in the fridge for about an hour before serving is great if you want it to be nice and cold. Just remember to keep it in an airtight container during that time.
- Don’t have time to actually cook the chicken? Just grab a rotisserie from the store!
