To keep this healthy recipe clean eating approved, use Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil Mayo. You can also use regular mayo, reduced fat mayo or Miracle Whip, but it will not be complete clean eating friendly.

In terms of chicken, weigh the chicken after it is cooked. I prefer to use a rotisserie chicken for this recipe, but chicken breast or chicken thigh meat works great too!
