Whoa, this Tex-Mex Chopped Chicken Salad is legit! Made it for a mate's BBQ, and everyone went bonkers! It's got crunch, spice, and that's just the start! Tossed in some avos and crushed tortilla chips – pure bliss. Honestly, the best summery dish I've cooked up this year!

My chicken turned out pretty dry, any recommendations on what to do so I don't have to deal with dried chicken again?
