This is an amazing chicken salad. I substituted pecans for walnuts and served it on croissants. It was a hit! Perfect for showers or parties.

This recipe is super. I didn't have rotisserie chicken so i marinated chicken in italian salad dressing, baked it and used that instead. The walnuts add a lot to the dish. Delicious.

I made a batch of Recipe #53526 for this and I am so glad I did! I used some rotisserie chicken, which made it so easy. This was terrific on a homemade bun. I had it with/without walnuts and it was equally good. Thanks for posting, JackieMarie. Roxygirl
