Notes
- You should marinate the chicken for at least an hour. The more you marinate the chicken the better. It adds more to the flavor. You can marinate the chicken overnight as well to maximize the flavor
- You can cut chicken breasts in half if they are too big. This ensures they are cooked well and distributed well in the salad.
