Wild Rice, Brussel Sprouts and Chicken Salad

A hint of spring is in the air and this wild rice and brussel sprout chicken salad is giving me alllll the warm weather vibes. This dish is SO good both hot and cold. I prefer it cold, while David likes it better hot! This meal is seriously the best for meal prep. I will make a big batch on Sunday then pack it up in little containers and I am good to go for the week!
