  • Leaf lettuce, if desired

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make this salad up to 24 hours before serving. If needed, stir in a few drops of milk to make it creamy again.
  • tip 2
    For fewer calories, use reduced-fat or fat-free mayonnaise.
  • tip 3
    No leftover cooked chicken on hand? You can buy frozen chopped cooked chicken, canned chunk chicken or rotisserie chicken.
