Ya’ll know that chicken salad is my first go to when it comes to using up leftover chicken. Well, this recipe can be made with leftovers (if you cooked extra on purpose as I sometimes do) or with freshly cooked chicken breasts. This is such a good recipe for hot days in the summer and so refreshing and light – there’s room for a scrumptious dessert!
