Instructions

Notes
Chicken Options: Canned chicken works well here and keeps this recipe quick. Rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken can be used instead. Chop it finely so it mixes evenly.
Meal Prep Friendly: This chicken salad holds well in the fridge for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container.
How To Eat: Eat it straight from the jar, scoop it with veggies, or use it as a filling for wraps, sandwiches, or toast. It's versatile.
Seasoning Check: Taste the dressing before adding the chicken. Depending on the saltiness of your parmesan and Worcestershire sauce, you may want a pinch more of salt or a squeeze of lemon.
