How To Make Classic Chicken Salad

Chicken salad is one of those foods that I could eat endlessly without getting bored. Classic, flavorful, and protein-packed, chicken salad goes well in any form: sandwiches, wraps, large lettuce leaves, or even eaten plain. There are a lot of chicken salad recipes out there, but I think this one is the best.

Who makes better versions of traditional recipes than Southern Living, who came up with this one? My guess is no. Use whatever extra chicken you may have on hand to whip up this delicious dish. Make use of any fresh chicken breasts you happen to have on hand, or another option.
