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.

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 ...
