Notes

  • Protein Options: Any pre-cooked chicken works here—grilled, rotisserie, or even canned. You can also swap in tuna or chickpeas for variety.
  • Make It a Meal Prep: Combine all ingredients except the crackers in advance and store in an airtight container. Add the crushed crackers right before eating to keep them crisp.
  • Cracker Swap: Use pita chips, pretzel crisps, or even roasted chickpeas for a crunch variation.
