Be that as it may, don't hesitate to utilize some other cut of chicken and marinade that you like, and either flame broil, heat, or sauté the chicken until cooked. Or then again you can simply shred a rotisserie chicken to make things extra simple.

Veggies: I utilized a blend of daintily cut cucumber, carrots, and bean grows. Be that as it may, don't hesitate to include whatever other crisp veggies that sound great.
Greens: I utilized destroyed lettuce, however blended greens or some other most loved greens would likewise work.
