Cook until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) with no pink meat.
Tips to reduce fat or salt in this recipe?
Use lean chicken, bake or broil instead of frying, and limit added salt; boost flavor with herbs and spices.
How can I customize with herbs and a dressing?
Add parsley or dill, a little garlic, and lemon juice; a light vinaigrette works well on the salad.
Are there common allergens to watch for?
Possible allergens include egg (if used as a binder) and dairy in dressings; check ingredient lists and adjust if needed.
