What to do with your leftover chicken? Make chicken salad! It's so good!

I learned to make this from my mom. She didn't measure and added whatever she had on hand as far as the onion went. Could be green, red, or yellow onion.
(I have also added a good shot of Ranch Dressing to the salad. It gives it a nice flavor.) I don't really measure either, but I tried to give measurements as listed below. I think it's a good combo!

    I really like this chicken salad on a croissant, or served on lettuce, or a lettuce wrap.

    Great as an appetizer, to spread on your favorite crackers, or party ryes.
