I used this recipe to make a "true" chicken salad. First, I doubled the recipe, leaving out the greens, cucumber, and bacon. Then I diced the chicken small, (I used leftover grilled chicken breasts), and mixed it with the mayo/bbq sauce mixture. I let it sit the fridge for a few hours to really let the flavors blend. The tomatoes and cheese were added just before serving. I used toasted thick sliced bread to make sandwiches. Awesome!
