Notes

Chicken: Cook and chop your own chicken, my favorite method to do this is using the method for our Shredded Mexican Chicken (don't use the seasoning blend), or you can save time and use a rotisserie chicken.

Mayonnaise: Use your preferred brand, you can find mayo made with avocado oil or egg-free as needed. You can substitute with plain greek yogurt also.

Dijon: Adds flavoring, you can also substitute with yellow mustard or other mustard of your choosing.

Grapes: These add a bit of sweetness. Substitute with dried cranberries.

Optional: Add some additional crunch with chopped pecans or walnuts. Fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or chives are also great additions and can change the flavoring.
