Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quickest prep.
- Use equal parts yogurt & mayo makes for tangy, smooth chicken salad. Use what you have on hand/what you like, but I highly recommend mixing the two ingredients for the sauce.
- Use whatever nuts you have on hand, cashews and almonds are my favorites in this chicken salad.
