Tips:
- Tip 1: You can poach, grill, or bake the chicken breasts depending on your preference. To keep the chicken moist and juicy, consider poaching them in a lightly seasoned broth.
- Tip 2: Cut all ingredients into uniform small pieces to ensure an even distribution of flavors in each bite.
- Tip 3: For extra crunch, add some chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts to the salad mixture.
