What Kind of Chicken Should I Use To Make My Chicken Salad?
When it comes to chicken salad, you should know a few things before you start cooking. Today, I used a simple boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked in the air fryer, and then shredded it. (Recipe Here)
The other options would be to use a store-bought Rotisserie Chicken and shred that. My family is partial to Costco’s Famous $4.99 Rotisserie Chickens, and this makes for a great way to use the leftovers.
Do I Have To Use Pre-Shredded Broccoli Slaw?
No, today, I used pre-shredded broccoli slaw because it’s an easy and low-carb-friendly option. But you can also use your feel free to shred your broccoli, or cabbage, or a combination of the two.
You can find the pre-bagged, pre-shredded broccoli slaw in the produce department, near the bagged salads.
How Long Does Air Fryer Thai Chicken Salad Last In the Refrigerator?
