Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Grill your chicken breasts until fully cooked. Allow them to cool slightly, then slice them into strips.

  7. Top with Noodles: Just before serving, sprinkle crispy chow mein noodles on top for extra crunch.
  8. Garnish: If desired, add chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
  9. Serve Immediately: Plate the salad and serve it fresh to enjoy all the textures and flavors.

Notes
