    Made this with some left over chicken from dinner the night before. Put it on some toast with a tomato. Excellent chicken salad. My husband loved it.

    I used store bought guacamole (which is mostly mashed avacado) which allowed me to omit the mayo. Delicious recipe!

    My 7 yr old was so disappointed when the leftovers were gone! We loved it! I left out the onion and celery. I also always sub plain greek yogurt for sour cream too.

    The taste of this is really good. I think I goofed because I cut the recipe down but maybe didn't use the correct correlation of chicken to sauce. It was too saucy, and I ran out of chicken. So my recommendation until I try this again and edit this review is to add the sauce - Read more ...
