A refreshing and flavorful chicken salad perfect for a light meal or sandwich filling.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the lettuce is thoroughly washed and dried for the best texture.
Dice the red onion and red bell pepper, then add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
For a milder onion flavor, soak the diced onion in cold water for a few minutes before adding.
Shred or chop the cooked chicken into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
Use leftover roasted chicken for added flavor.
In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until well combined.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve the chicken salad on slices of bread or enjoy it on its own.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor.
