An excellent chicken salad. Flavors definitely develop as it cools in the fridge. I added a little lemon pepper, subbed regular milk for the evaporated milk and used leftover white and dark meat from a rotisserie chicken. This recipe would be great to serve for a bridal or baby shower. Made for Bevy Tag Sept 2008. THANKS for a great dinner.
