Very good recipe. The honey and mustard gives it a nice flavor. We served as a sandwich with the Muenster cheese.

Amazing chicken salad! There is a gourmet grocery store near us that makes a similar salad and charges $13/lb! This was much cheaper than buying it and it really has a wonderful flavor. My husband who is not a salad eater tried it, then ate a plate full. I didn't change a thing to the recipe - it's perfect just the way it is.

Yummy! I added a little celery for some crunch. I also seasoned the chicken with a little Poultry Seasoning and Seasoned Salt before baking for extra flavor.
