Notes
- Cook chicken: You can either boil the chicken or cook it in a slow cooker for the best, tender chicken. Rotisserie chicken also works great.
- Use a mixer or food processor: I recommend using an electric mixer or food processor to shred up the chicken into small, fine pieces. It's best to shred it when it's hot. If you use a food processor, make sure to just pulse it until it's ready. This is a key to make the chicken salad so good and similar to the restaurant.
- Fruit: Dice up the fruit and celery small so it's easy to eat.
- Mayonnaise: If you prefer a creamier chicken salad, you can add a little extra mayonnaise.
