I enjoyed this version of chicken salad quite a bit. I thought the inclusion of cinnamon was inspired and tasted delicious! It really did make me think of fall. I know I am raving over the cinammon, but to assure future readers; it really is a background note, not overpowering at all. I will be making this again and again. Thank you chef for a keeper!

This was a great chicken salad recipe. I used Poached Chicken and reduced the recipe to two servings. The red onions were a bit overpowering and I would use half as much next time. The five year old loved his sandwich! Good luck Chef!
