What ingredients can I substitute in Chicken and Egg Salad?

How should I store leftover Chicken and Egg Salad?
Chicken and Egg Salad can usually be portioned into airtight containers and refrigerated for 2 to 4 days depending on the ingredients used. Let it cool before sealing, and keep it refrigerated rather than at room temperature.
Can I freeze Chicken and Egg Salad?
Chicken and Egg Salad is best enjoyed fresh and does not freeze well, since its texture changes once thawed. Keep it in the fridge and eat it within a day or two instead.
How do I reheat Chicken and Egg Salad?

Can I scale Chicken and Egg Salad up or down?

What pan or dish should I use for Chicken and Egg Salad?
A large skillet, saucepan, or sheet pan works well for Chicken and Egg Salad. Pick one big enough to hold the ingredients in a single layer so everything cooks evenly instead of steaming.
How do I know when Chicken and Egg Salad is cooked properly?
Chicken and Egg Salad is ready when the chicken breast is fully cooked through, no pink in the center for meat, opaque and flaky for fish, and set for eggs. Checking the thickest part with a thermometer or a clean cut is the most reliable test.
