One of my mom’s best friend’s Anita makes the best chicken salad. It is so good. I had planned on making Giada’s Curry Chicken Salad for dinner the other night, but didn’t have a few of the ingredients, so I decided to make Anita’s Chicken Salad and take some cues from Giada by adding some chili powder and cayenne to it. I also decided to add some honey mustard. It added some nice flavor, but would be just as good without these three ingredients. It’s also good for you too.

Hi Stephanie
What size cans of chicken breast did you use.
