Ingredient Substitutions: Substitute chicken with turkey or tofu for a different protein source. Use dairy-free cheese if needed.
How to Serve: Serve with a side of carrot sticks or celery for added crunch.
Storage & Freshness: Keep the chicken separate from the lettuce until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
