Classic Chicken Salad

I recently had a craving for a simple chicken salad sandwich because it takes me back to my younger days. I had some leftover roasted chicken in the fridge so I threw together this classic chicken salad recipe that I found on Spend with Pennies and made myself a delicious sandwich.  This chicken salad recipe is very adaptable so you can switch it up by adding other herbs, cranberries, grapes, or nuts and you can serve it on your favorite type of bread, over lettuce, or as a spread for crackers.

  1. Does look like the classic version and my favorite use of turkey. A sandwich and chips makes for a nice lunch for you.
