<p>This Five-Layer Chicken Salad is a refreshing cold dish that's perfect for a quick meal or as a potluck offering. For a simpler preparation, consider using rotisserie chicken. My photo features the chicken on top, but the recipe recommends placing the lettuce on top for better presentation. However, if you're planning on leftovers, keep the lettuce on the bottom to minimize wilting. This recipe is ideal for those days when you want to prepare something in advance without much hassle!</p>

This Five-Layer Chicken Salad, served cold, makes for a quick and easy meal or potluck dish. Use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut on prep. And yes, I realize my photo shows the chicken on top instead of what the recipe suggests, which is to have the lettuce on top. I think lettuce on top looks better, but it doesn't keep as long, so if you plan on having leftovers for the next day, bury the lettuce on the bottom where it won't get as much oxygen and therefore won't wilt as quickly. This is a great make-ahead meal for when you don't feel like cooking!
