Top Tips:

If you'd like to chop your chicken really finely, almost shredded, then you can use an electric hand mixer to shred it.
If you like your chicken salad fruity, then add in some chopped grapes, chopped dates, or sultanas.
Want a bit more crunch to your salad? Add some roughly chopped walnuts.
