This is a great Chicken Salad Recipe. Our 5 year old, BOY, absolutely LOVED this chicken salad and had two sandwiches. However the adults thought it needed something to bring it over the top. I would love to add fresh herbs to this recipe! The heavy cream idea is just AWESOME! This is a great entry! Good Luck Chef!

Very good chicken salad! I added some chopped scallions and some fresh chopped parsley to add a little extra flavor. I also used 1 whole apple....I think the apple really makes this salad terrific. The heavy cream makes this nice and creamy and rich, but if you're watching your fat, I think you could skip it. Thanx for posting and good luck!
