Notes

Instead of sandwiches, serve this chicken salad with crackers or on top of salad.
Because the chicken salad contains mayo, keep it refrigerated and don't leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken is great for this recipe. You can also cook up a couple of breasts to use. Check out my Instant Pot Shredded Chicken recipe that can be used in this.

Storage: Store chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
