BLT Chicken Salad

Anyone else a sucker for a good chicken salad??

I love ’em. You can make a giant bowl of chicken salad and have easy lunches for days. I don’t need it on a sandwich! In fact, I prefer that it isn’t! I find it too difficult to eat chicken salad on a sandwich. It all dumps out anyway. So pick up your fork and enjoy your chicken salad the right way! Protein first!
