Simple Chicken Salad

Jeniferbz's Note:

This is by far the best chicken salad I have eaten/made. You can always add fruit like grapes or nuts to you to your liking. I get alot of compliments on this every time I make it! Enjoy!

This is a wonderful simple quick recipe. The only complaint I have is that the lemon juice and celery seed somewhat over power everything else.....other than that it's wonderful.

Thoroughly enjoyed this recipe! We did not add the eggs (accidently left them out) and looking back, I think it was even better without them. Will maker this again for sure.
