Chicken salad is one of my favorites. It’s so versatile and quick to make. This is a fairly simple basic chicken salad. I often add fruit and other flavorings but was in the mood for something simple and this did the trick. I used the Arnold Select Sandwich Thins today but I often put this on a whole wheat tortilla too. It’s also nice just set over a bed of lettuce greens if you’re low carbing it.

I never would have thought of this combo either but definitely sounds good! It reminded me of another favorite I haven’t make in years – will have to make it and post it soon!
Since I was a very little girl hard boiled eggs have been a crucial additive to both chicken and tuna salad in our house. We also add chopped sweet pickles.
Never sould have thought to combine these two and come up with the perfect sanwich; sure looks good.
What’s not to love here? I love egg salad…I love chicken salad… I might need to make this for my lunch today!
