Chicken salad is probably my all-time favorite cold sandwich recipes. Every time I make it, the ingredients change based on what I have in the kitchen. The “bones” of the chicken salad is always the same, but it always has a different flair. This one has a slight kick to it– but it is basically my base chicken salad recipe with some additions. Make it yours.
