Submitted by Tasses

"I've been making this for years. It's one of my most requested dishes. Some folks like mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip. Can be easily doubled, add 15 minutes cooking time."

This was good! Very easy to make. I used mayo rather than Miracle Whip, but other than that made as directed. I think next time I might skip the onion flakes and saute some chopped onion along with the chicken chunks (rather than boil the chicken). Made for Spring PAC 2010.
