Fantastic! Perfect blend of ingredients and easily tweakable. This one goes in my favorite file. Thank you for the recipe.

This is an excellent salad, and I get compliments on it all the time.  Here are some notes on what I do.  I have an instant pot so I throw a frozen chicken breast on my trivet and cook at high pressure and high heat for 30 minutes till done.  Then I pull out my KitchenAid, either my stand mixer or hand-held one whichever one suits my fancy that day, then beat the  out of the chicken to make it shredded.  I like the shredded chicken texture better than chunks.  Also, always use Duke’s Mayonnaise, it takes this recipe to the next level when you have a good Mayonnaise.

Thai was really good. My wife is not a fan of traditional chicken salad so I tried this one and was really impressed. I did leave out the almonds. Would definitely make again..

This was excellent.  I used leftover chicken breasts that we had grilled the night before, so cut down on some of the prep time.  I used about 1/4-1/2 tsp of Goya Adobo seasoning instead of the salt (Goya Adobo seasoning is a Mexican season salt available at most grocery stores).  I also added a cubed avocado.  I could tell from reading the recipe that it would be good, but the flavors really come together well.  A nice update to regular chicken salad, will definitely make it again.

I just loved this!  I was growing cilantro and trying to find recipes to use it. This was perfect!  I suggest toasting the almonds in a dry fry pan for a few minutes as they become much more flavorable. I increased the cilantro and the celery.

Fantastic recipe and simple to make. I did about 2-3 times the cilantro and used italian dressing with salt and pepper for the chicken.

It’s really good, but not as visually appealing as I thought. But yummy. I did used more mayo and the juice from one lime. I think next I may try it with rotisserie chicken from the store.
