Great Chicken Salad Recipe! It is WAY too hot here in Oklahoma to heat up the kitchen in the evenings now. I had this show saved on my DVR and made it at 5am this morning for dinner tonight. It has such a great flavor and crunch. I grated orange zest on the top for some color. I printed off the recipe for 3 co-workers today.

This chicken salad is FANTASTIC! My husband loves chicken salad, so he is constantly looking for new recipes and new ways of trying it. He said that this recipe was his favorite BY FAR. I must agree with him, it is DELICIOUS! We liked this so much the first night I made it, that we ended up making up 3 more times in 2 weeks! Thanks Paula!!
