Notes
Storage:
Cover your chicken salad in an airtight container, and then refrigerate it for up to 3-5 days. You can also freeze this in an airtight container for a few months, no more than 3. Thaw in the refrigerator.
Important Notes:
If you are using canned chicken, make sure to drain it really well. After draining, you can even place it on a paper towel and pat it dry to make sure that it doesn’t have extra water or oils. This will keep the chicken salad from getting too soggy or runny!
