I used plain cooked chicken, and it was still yummy. Also, avoid using dried basil. Fresh is a little more work, but it really adds something to the flavor.

Excellent! Since I'm enjoying the heck out of my Stovetop Kettle Smoker, I was in need of something to do with my apple smoked chicken. This recipe is terrific. PS - I highly recommend a stove top smoker ;o)

Total flavor explosion! If you make this without a smoky flavor you are missing a key element. I too couldn't find smoked chicken so I did a marinade with some liguid smoke the first time. Second time I just added 1 tsp. liquid smoke to the mayo (M Whip) before adding to the chicken. Yesterday I smoked my own chicken (used boneless skinless thighs) AND added the liquid smoke to the mayo. Perfect rolled up in a leaf of lettuce.

I made this for a camping trip this past summer and it was a big hit! I made double the amount needed and they ate it all up. Actually I made it the day before and stored it in an ice box - it was still very juicy and fresh for lunch the next day. People commented that it was unlike any chicken salad they tasted before and few asked for "the secret ingredient", to which I insisted that there wasn't any. Very simple to make and very yummy!

It was just okay. Next time I make it I will leave out the red onion that's all I could taste.

I made this last night and it was a big hit! My husband (who have never ate chicken salad before) couldn't get enough. I think he ate about 4 croissant sandwiches. It's so easy to make and so yummy! They mayo was just right and creamy. The grapes, almonds, and celery gave it a nice crunch. I used rotisserie chicken and it was perfect. I will definetly be making this again and again! Thanks for the awesome recipe!

Great chicken salad! I just used canned chicken and light mayo, and it's still wonderful! The only other thing I changed was that I didn't put quite as much onion as what the recipe called for. This will be a regular in our house! Great to make up and keep in the fridge for a quick sandwich when you're sick of ham and turkey!

I didn't cube the chicken. I processed it to "crumbs" and added the rest of the ingredients. This is so delicious. It's everything I could want in chicken salad, and I make it everytime I have leftover chicken. The grapes, the basil... it all goes together fabulously. Thank you! I love it!

I've made this dish many times and have given the recipe to lots of family and friends. Lately I've been adding chunk pineapple for a new twist and may like this version even better. It's hard to decide... :D

My son Aaron rated this a 5. I agree the basil was a nice touch. we didnt add the almonds. I put mine in a wrap with avacodo we plan to picnic with the rest tonight. It was easy to make and the store bought ready cooked chicken makes it fast

always the hit of the party! most of the time, i use a cooked chicken from the grocery store. a whole chicken usually sells for less than $5. it's definitely a time-saver. as for the rest, i don't have to change a thing!

By far the best chicken salad I've had! Didn't put in the almonds, my preference, but it didn't make any difference. Do not make this without the fresh basil. Thanks for the great recipe.
