Notes
- Use cooked chicken: This recipe is meant for already cooked chicken, so leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, or baked chicken all work well.
- Cook the bacon until crisp: Crisp bacon holds up better once mixed into the creamy salad.
- Add lettuce right before serving: If you are meal prepping, wait to stir in the shredded lettuce until you are ready to eat so it stays fresh and crisp.
- Halve the tomatoes: Cutting the cherry tomatoes helps them mix evenly into the salad without making it too watery.
- Adjust the creaminess: Add a little extra mayo or Greek yogurt if you prefer a creamier chicken salad.
