Normally when a recipe calls a certain amount of cups of cooked shredded chicken I always just go with 1 chicken breast equals 1 cup. Most times that does not make a difference in the finished product if there is a bit more chicken. However with this salad it did make a difference and I ended up with a drier chicken salad than I like. The next day when I tried it I had to add a bit more mayo and sour cream. But of course I did not think to take new pictures since I had taken pictures the day before. So I guess I will have to make this delicious salad again sooner than later so I can take new pictures.
