For best results, use high-quality, flavorful oven-roasted chicken breast. Feel free to substitute other fruits or nuts based on your preferences and what you have on hand. Sliced grapes, chopped walnuts, or sunflower seeds would all be delicious additions. If you prefer a creamier dressing, add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of olive oil. To prevent the greens from getting soggy, make sure the chicken mixture isn't too wet. You can also place a paper towel between the chicken layer and the greens layer to absorb excess moisture. This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
