    This is by far my favorite chicken salad recipe. I use a little less mayo, but otherwise follow the recipe. It’s great as a sandwich or on a bed of lettuce. Thanks for the recipe!

    I just made this and it's delicious! Easy too...I used a rotisserie chicken. The chicken came to almost 3 cups so I used it all, added one more egg just because I like, and the rest of the ingredients the same. It made a lot! Thank you for sharing recipe Robin!
