Other ideas for using boiled chicken

We decided to use the thighs and thighs and eat them as a second course, accompanied by various sauces. However, you can also prepare boiled chicken breast: with chicken breast you can make many (lighter) recipes, just cut it into slices to have a very light cut to pair with the salad, or shred the meat and enrich it with ingredients of your choice . The chicken salad is in fact made with boiled chicken, mayonnaise and other ingredients of your choice (try adding a diced green apple and a few walnuts, you'll go crazy for it).

Why don't you try the chicken salad too?
