Notes

  • For the cooked chicken, use either leftover roast chicken, precooked chicken from a store e.g. rotisserie chicken, or cook your own prior to making the salad.
  • If you choose to cook your own chicken, a simple way is to drizzle chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and smoked paprika. Put in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
