Notes

Make Ahead Instructions: The individual ingredients can be prepped ahead of time (a few days in advance.) The chicken salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Chicken: Any type of chicken can be used. I normally use rotisserie chicken since it's easier. Onion: For best results, use red onion— though any type of onion will work. Mayonnaise: Any brand of mayonnaise works. You could also do ½ cup Greek yogurt and ½ cup of mayonnaise if you want. Lemon juice: This is optional. It tastes great with or without it. If using Greek yogurt, I recommend not adding the lemon juice.
