  • How do you cook hard-boiled eggs? To keep the eggs from cracking, place them in cold water and bring them up over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes once the water comes to a boil, then drain and cover with cold water to cool. The sudden temperature change makes the shells easier to peel.
  • You can swap the chicken for turkey or any other meat you like. Just keep in mind that the cooking time and the calorie count of the dish will change.
  • Mayonnaise is best made from scratch; it's tastier and better for you. For a lighter dressing, you can also use sour cream or plain yogurt in place of the mayonnaise, or mix either one with mayonnaise in any ratio you like to cut down on calories.
