Easy Chicken Salad:
Chicken salad is a dish you can serve anywhere at anytime. It's perfect for lunch, barbecues, picnics, pot lucks, or just as a snack. You can make this recipe in just 5 minutes. If you enjoy eating healthy, simply add light or fat free mayo and enjoy this on a salad, or by itself, either way it's delicious. I prefer to use either rotisserie chicken, baked thighs, or baked breast that have already been seasoned and cooked. I usually use the leftover chicken from dinner and make this as a quick lunch for the next day. You can also substitute chicken for turkey, especially around the holidays when you have leftover meat. Feel free to experiment and add nuts or cranberries for an added crunch. Enjoy! Now, let's cook!
