Reviews
Been making this for years and will never stop.
Best chicken salad I ever had. I used rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and I only used two jalapeños. It taste great on the croissant with cheddar cheese.
very good, would make again. decreased onions and used two red jalepenos
Delicious! I left out the jalapenos, because my family doesn’t like things too spicy, and added crumbled bacon and diced tomatoes! HUGE HIT! Served it on crusty kaiser rolls with corn on the cob for a juicy summer dinner! This is definitely my new go-to chicken salad recipe!!!
OMG….SO GOOD!!!! It is even better the next day!
Love this recipe! My family loves it so much that I make it at least once a month!
Excellent! I made it with diced grilled chicken breasts. Another great “Big Daddy” recipe I will use again and again!
I served this recipe at at church function and it was the star attraction everyone loved it. Its easy and oh so very tasty.
The salad was excellent and easy to make.
I loved this recipe! Unfortunately I didn’t have all the exact ingredients but got the jist of the recipe through improvising. I loved the pistachios!! and the little kick with the chili sauce. I will definitely make it again and be proud to say its a “Big Daddy” recipe!
