Classic Chicken Salad
Ok, you guys know how much I RAVE about Chicken Salad Chicks food! I mean, they kill the chicken salad game, but I don’t have one near me and I want chicken salad NOW 😂
I’ve made plenty in my day and none have been as good, until now!! I did all the trial and error for you & I have the best recipe ever!! Thank goodness
Best part? This is my favorite kind, but my husband loves the grapes/nuts version, so guess what, just add them in!! This recipe is just the base, the chicken salad is your oyster.
Finally, this is all stuff you probably have in your pantry! Prep this on Sunday and eat all week long!! 😋
