Introduction
A very delicious variation on chicken salad. Using Dijon and honey in the dressing make the difference. It's great to make a whole batch and just eat on it all week. Super crunchy, super good, you'll want to serve this at all your brunches and lunches. A very delicious variation on chicken salad. Using Dijon and honey in the dressing make the difference.

I like this recipe but the nutrition information is way off. How can you have a pound of chicken breast divided into six portions and only get 3 grams of protein. Pound of chicken is 139 grams of protein divided by 6 is at least 23 grams per serving. This just doesn't seem right. Craisins are very h - 4/20/18

Been looking for this recipe;local grocery makes the full fat version in the deli. Prob w/theirs is the dressing:chicken ratio (would u like some chicken with your dressing?) I subbed .5C plain greek yogurt for .5C mayo. Still little too much dressing for my liking, but easy to remove some. THANKS!! - 4/4/11
