  1. This is so yummy! I added diced orange bell pepper, minced garlic and green onions also substituted olive oil mayo for real mayo. I also simmered the chicken in chicken broth which gave it a bunch of flavor! Great recipe, Thank you!

    1. YUM! I bet the added bell peppers were awesome 🙂

  2. Found this recipe courtesy of Pinterest and just prepped it for tomorrow’s lunch. I am going to add the avocado and lime tomorrow a little before lunch, but the chicken salad is already delicious. I omitted the mayo and I don’t think it needs it. Who knew Greek yogurt would substitute so well?! Thanks for the brilliant recipe!
