My mom gave me this recipe when I got married in 1984. A few years ago, I pulled it out and served it at a Christmas party. Now everyone asks me to make it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Salty and crunchy, this is a fun spin on traditional chicken salad. Served hot, it has a creamy, cheesy dressing and a crisp and crunchy topping. Enjoy this as a dip or sandwich topping. With its savory and tangy flavor, you can serve this with fresh veggies, chips, or rolls. It's a very versatile chicken salad recipe.
