Creating Chopped Chicken Salad is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Cook the Chicken: If you don’t have pre-cooked chicken, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until cooked through. Let cool and chop.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: Rinse and chop the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, and carrots. Place them in a large salad bowl.
3. Add Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked and chopped, add it to the bowl with the vegetables.
4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.
5. Combine Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently until everything is well-coated.
6. Add Nuts and Cheese: If using, sprinkle sliced almonds or walnuts and feta cheese over the top.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your salad fresh, or refrigerate for up to 2 days if you want to enjoy it later.

These simple steps will guide you in creating an incredible Chopped Chicken Salad that everyone will love.
