Tropical Chicken Salad

In keeping with the tropical vibe, I decided to make this tropical fruity chicken salad. My mom had made if for me last month and she had gotten the recipe from a friend. I am not normally a fan of fruited chicken salad, but this one was so amazing! So simple, but so delicious! It would be great for an appetizer, bridal shower, or afternoon tea as well. And don’t think this is too dainty and just for the ladies because Adam devoured it and kept going back for more (as did I)!!
