Always looking for new ideas & this one hit the spot! Anything w/cream cheese is good right? Used a roasted chicken from the deli & cut the meat into bite size pieces. Also added macadmia nuts like another posted suggested. My husband ate 3 sandwiches (served on crossiants) ...will be sharing this yummy recipe with others! Thanks!

Very good recipe. I have read other reviews and think that they may be using 2 8oz boxes of cream cheese (I almost did). It is 2-3oz boxes, not too much at all. I boiled a chicked and cut up the meat for this recipe. Otherwise made just as directed

I've tried out so many different chicken salad recipes, trying to find one I wanted to make for a graduation party. I settled on one, but then when I found this I thought I might as well give it a try since we are having a luau theme. It was so great! Sweeter than the average chicken salad, but I loved it. I also chopped up some Macadamia Nuts and put them in. I highly recommend doing that, they tasted great in the salad.

The ingredients in this recipe worked well together but the quantity of cream cheese needed to be halved. Canned chicken probably is high in sodium content so adding salt when you use fresh chicken is necessity. I like the taste of paprika in chicken salad so IU added 2tsp of it. After adding that people raved about the salad. So it is good but just adjust to taste.

A keeper! You definitely want to make it ahead and serve it chilled. It's best when the flavors have had a chance to blend. My only recommendation is to use fresh chicken, not the canned kind. I baked skinless breasts and shredded/cut them, and the flavor was wonderful. I made it for a Hawaiian-themed party and served it in a hollowed out pineapple- beautiful! Everyone loved it!

I didn't like the cream cheese in this recipe. It also tasted like it was missing something. Won't make this again.

I made this for a group of high school students for a meeting they were having at our house. It was such a hit! They talked about it every time they saw me for the next week, and when it was time for the next meeting, all I heard was, "Well, if you're making that chicken salad, we'll be there." I did omit the grapes because I couldn't find seedless and didn't feel like the hassle of removing seeds. The first time, I served it on pieces of baguettes, but this time I'm going for croissants. Great recipe!

Not a big Chicken Salad person so I gave it to a girl at work who loved it! I cooked chicken and cut it up, and only used half of the pineapple juice because I was scared it would be too runny.

Yummy! I love this recipe, but I think it's one of those love-hate things. It didn't seem like anybody who tasted it thought it was so-so. They either loved it, or couldn't eat another bite.

My daughter made this recipe for her 4-H chicken cookery contest and won 1st place! It's a great recipe! The only changes we made was to substitute walnuts for the almonds and I added a packet of splenda to the dressing for a bit more sweetness. Thanks for a great recipe!

Really good and super fast and easy to make. Would have been better with fresh chicken instead of canned chicken as the canned chicken gave it a somewhat strong taste.

Tasting this after mixing it up I felt it was pretty bland, so I added green onions and celery for a little extra texture and flavor. This also seemed to improve over night. I may make this again for a brunch, but probably not frequently.

This was really good. I used fresh chicken breast, left it in terriyaki marinade overnight and grilled it (great flavor). I don't think canned chicked would be that great with these ingredients. I also added mandarin oranges (great combo w/ the grapes and pineapple). Didn't have almonds, but it tasted good anyway. Also used fat free cream cheese! I think the KEY to this recipe is to make it and let it sit in the fridge OVERNIGHT. All of the flavors blend and it is to die for. This is a keeper! Would definitely recommend!
