This chicken salad is so good and is a great way to use up leftover chicken. You can also make this with leftover turkey which is great around the holidays. We used to live near a grocery store who had a similar chicken salad that they called, "gourmet chicken salad." They stopped making it over the years, so I decided to make my own. I hope you'll try this recipe!
