  • Combine all the chicken salad ingredients and gently toss together (don't over mix you'll want chicken chunks.)

Notes

  • Cheese Substitutes: can melt 4 oz of Velveeta cheese with a splash of milk or use 1 1/2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack Colby cheese.
  • We love these with the Italian Herb French Bread or use regular French bread from Walmart. The filling fits perfectly into one Walmart 14-inch French bread loaf.  
  • Pickles: Evelyn chops dill pickles and will use their juice for the relish. 
  • Chicken Salad for crowds of 50: times this recipe by 5.
