Fruity Chicken Salad

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.
