In my opinion, these needed a little more flavor. I made a few small changes-miracle whip instead of mayo, regular onion instead of green, a tiny bit less cayenne pepper, and the almonds weren't toasted. I don't think these changes should have made that much of a difference in taste though! I actually tasted some of the chicken salad before baking them, and liked it better cold. So I could just use this as a chicken salad recipe and leave it at that!

These were excellent!! I loved the addition of the cayenne, it added a little zip that was really nice. I made as directed except left out the almonds, as my husband doesn't like them. We both loved these cute little cups..way better than a boring old chicken salad sandwich. I'm definitely making these often from now on! Thanks so much for posting. Made for PRMR Tag.

I agree with your comments...this is an excellent recipe! I made as written except I did not use the optional cayenne pepper (hubby wished I had as he loves a bit more kick). I can't believe how tasty these were and they become a showcase at the table. Definitely a go-to recipe for my next family or friends get-together. I'm so glad I made these as I will definitely make these for quick lunches and buffet family times! Thanks Nimz for sharing this recipe.

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
