Chef notes
The fresh lemon juice and zest adds a burst of bright flavor to this otherwise simple chicken salad. Save time by using leftover cooked chicken or a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.

- 2 teaspoons fresh tarragon, chopped
- 1 small handful parsley, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
