I'm looking for a good chicken salad recipe. Something to break up the lunch routine. I've heard of people using honey mustard instead of mayo, but I'm looking for anything.

    Similar to above, I steam boneless, skinless chicken breast in my steamer, then put it in my food processor with onion and celery until it is chopped finely. When it's done I add Kraft Mayo with olive oil, black pepper, and grapes sliced in half. Put that in a whole wheat tortilla and enjoy! Honey mustards sounds great too!

    This is what I use per wrap:

    1.5 oz cooked chicken breast
    1.4 T mayo with olive oil
    1 T chopped celery
    1 T chopped onion
    5-6 grapes, cut in half
    1 whole wheat tortilla

    For one person?

    1 cooked sliced chicken breast
    1 tablespoon french dressing
    2 sliced cherry tomatoes
    3 slices of cucumber
    2 chopped lettuce leaves
    1 small grated carrot
    30g cooked pasta

    Simply mix the lot and eat. Good for using up leftover chicken or pasta.
