Notes
- There are several ways you can cook your chicken. You can boil, bake, or cook in the air fryer. You can also use a rotisserie chicken for this recipe.
- If using a food processor to shred your chicken, make sure not to over pulse the chicken.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your preferred creaminess.
- I recommend chilling this chicken salad for about an hour before serving.
