I bought a rotisserie chicken for another recipe but forgot to get the rest of the ingredients. So I needed a recipe that used cooked chicken and on-hand ingredients. I found this recipe & could not be happier! My family LOVED this recipe. We love chicken salad but we have been making it a different way every time looking for the perfect one. So many use a lot of fruits and we aren't big on the sweetness. I loved how simple & classic this recipe was. I usually use pecans in place of walnuts (DD is allergic) but I had just used them all up. Everything else was on hand & made this super easy to mix up. I added fine ground sea salt, fresh ground black pepper & some extra basil. The mixture was very creamy but it didn't taste over mayo'd like some recipes do. My hard to please chicken salad lovers, DH & DS, were very impressed & would like to have this one again in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your creation, chef #773560. I do so hope you post more of your favorites! :) Made & enjoyed for New Kids on the Block tag game.
