I love a really tasty chicken salad, but buying it at a restaurant seems to be such a waste of money to me. Instead I would rather make some at home. You can grill, bake, roast or even boil the chicken, then add in your favorite flavors and viola you have Chicken Salad. I hope you enjoy my Chicken Salad Recipe.

I tend to shy away from nuts in recipes unless they are diced super small, something about the texture. I bet this would taste just as good without them though. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

My family loves Chicken Salad. Mine is pretty boring compared to yours so I think next time I will add different things like nuts.
