This easy chicken salad comes together quickly and can be customized to your taste preferences. The key is properly cooking the chicken so it remains tender and juicy, then allowing time for the flavors to meld in the refrigerator.

This versatile chicken salad can be customized in many ways. Try adding halved grapes, chopped apples, or walnuts instead of almonds. For a lighter version, use all Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Serve with whole grain bread for a nutritious and satisfying meal.
