How long does chicken salad last

Store leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the fridge for no more than four days.

Make-ahead instructions for these chicken salad bites

If you choose to use frozen pre-made phyllo cups, then you've got that step covered already. Don't assemble the cups ahead though. Instead, make the chicken salad the day before and store in the fridge until ready to assemble and serve. The homemade wonton cups can be made up to 2 days ahead. Recrisp in the oven for 5 minutes if necessary.

Other options for serving chicken salad

If you need a gluten-free option or simply want to know how else to serve the chicken salad, you can either place it on cucumber slices, gluten-free crostini or on endive spears or lettuce cups.
