This salad was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the peas were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the salad was still good. I think I would try using a different cooking method next time.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with a more flavorful dressing.

I'm not a big fan of peas, but I really enjoyed this salad! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the dressing was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, but the salad still turned out great! I used grilled chicken instead of roasted chicken, and I added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch. The salad was a hit with my family and friends.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the combination of flavors and textures. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the peas were still crisp and vibrant.
