This is delicious, I use to buy the store bought chicken salad but from now on I'm going to be making this one. Just looked at the reviews before I made it and added the dill, I think that's all it needed. I was going to put it in a sandwich but decided to put it on a bed of salad. Wow it reminds me of the chicken salad sandwich at Panera, definitely saving this recipe

The best chicken salad recipe I have found. Even my husband enjoyed it. I increased the mayo by the yogurt and eliminated yogurt due to dairy allergy.

This was really good. I added dried dill for more flavor and used half apple/half grapes.

My mother is a diabetic that survived a stroke 5 months ago. I do lots of research to find recipes to make our food tasty so she knows food can still be enjoyable while eating healthy. I fortunately have always chosen a healthy lifestyle so it’s been fun to find tasty recipes she and I can enjoy together.
I made this recipe as described and added just a few grapes as well. This chicken salad is so delicious and it made her super excited to eat something that had such a great flavor. Thanks for making our fuel super yummy.
