Tips
- • For the most tender and flavorful chicken, use freshly roasted or rotisserie chicken instead of pre-packaged meat. • Dice your ingredients uniformly to ensure each bite is balanced and consistent. • Let the mixture chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. • For extra crunch, consider adding toasted sliced almonds or chopped water chestnuts. • Use high-quality mayonnaise for a richer, more luxurious texture. • This filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep. • Experiment with different bread types like sourdough, whole wheat, or even as a filling for lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
