I have always been a fan of chicken salad. Whenever I'm going to a sandwich place, I always have a desire to try their chicken salad because each place has it's own blend of herbs and spices and other ingredients to add to the traditional chicken salad.
However, no matter how many places I've gone to and no matter how many different chicken salads I've tried, I found that my favorite recipes are the ones made at home with fresh left-over chicken. Bellow, find some delicious salads to prepare with left-over chicken. For the first recipe you can use not only left-over chicken but also left-over rice.
