Make Ahead & Storage Instructions
- Make-Ahead: This recipe is best served right away, but if you need to prep ahead, here's how. Prepare the chicken salad, but leave out the whipped cream. Cover it tightly, and store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, whip the cream, then fold it in and enjoy!
- Leftovers: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: I don't recommend freezing chicken salad!
