Reviews
I used 1/2 the amount of the dressing (not into wet chicken salad), but other than that followed the recipe exactly. DELICIOUS. The flavors are interesting and the texture is on point. Will totally keep on rotation for brunches and easy summer lunches.
This is so good! Definitely a splurge calorie wise but so worth it!
Delicious and so easy to make! I make this on repeat by pan frying my own chicken breasts.
This was so easy. I made it in the morning and let it set up and ate it at lunch. It was delish. I’ll definitely make it again. Great recipe for leftover fried chicken tenders!
Thank you Damaris! This was absolutely divine! I used canned chicken for ease but even with that substitute this recipe was perfect. Beautiful crunch of the celery and the tang and heat of the sauce were spot on. Absolutely a keeper!
Amazing!
Absolutely Deliious!
I never leave reviews, but this recipe is simple and delicious. I used 8 Publix chicken tenders, I’ll definitely be making this again.
This recipe is amazing. I did it using Popeyes mild chicken tenders. My daughter and I love it! I make it all the time.
Very good! I added honey for a bit of sweetness.
