Added notes for this delicious chicken salad recipe.

• In addition to making this delicious classic gluten free chicken salad recipe in a crockpot, I use other methods too. When I make this easy chicken salad recipe from scratch, I use a covered lid while cooking it. Whether in the oven or on the stovetop, it can help to decrease the amount of cooking time.
• I also at times need to add more water to the skillet as it is not always enough. You want to be sure to keep a close eye on your chicken as you cook it. Making sure it does not overcook and become tough in texture.
• To help chicken breast cook faster, try cutting them into thin slices.
• If you would like, you could add some crunchy veggies to your recipe such as celery pieces.
• Once your sauce is made, if you would prefer less mayo, adding a bit of fresh lemon juice may help.
