I could eat chicken salad forever and never grow tired of it. Chicken salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways: either as a sandwich, wrap, or eaten plain. It is classic, tasty, and filled with protein. This chicken salad recipe is the greatest of the several that I’ve tried.

No one does a better job of updating classic recipes than Southern Living, the folks responsible for creating this one. In all likelihood, I would say no. Feel free to use whatever leftover chicken you have for this tasty recipe. If you happen to have some fresh chicken breasts on hand, feel free to use them instead.
