Notes

For the chicken you can use the breast from a rotisserie chicken or make your own chicken breast easily with this recipe.
Your salad can last anywhere between 1-5 days. Depending on if you have already dressed the salad or not, is a factor. Undressed salad will keep for a few days longer, typically 3-5 days, than if the salad already has the dressing incorporated.
If the salad is already dressed, it's best that day, and might last another day in the fridge but the lettuce will get soggy.
