I’ve had this recipe in my files but haven’t shared it with you. If you make the crockpot chicken or buy a rotisserie chicken, you can use the leftover chicken to make this delicious chicken salad.
When I made this chicken salad, I shared some with my mother-in-law. She also loved this chicken salad. She especially loved the addition of the dried cherries.
It’s good on a bun or eaten with crackers. It would also be good just to eat with a fork.
