Notes
Make sure to use fresh jalapeños for the best flavor. Feel free to experiment by adding nuts like pecans or swapping cranberries for pomegranate seeds. This chicken salad can be served on croissants, in wraps, or over a bed of greens for a lighter option. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days; place plastic wrap directly on the surface to keep it fresh.
