What is Chicken Salad?
Chicken salad is a salad in which chopped, cooked chicken is the star ingredient. People may eat chicken salad on its own as an appetizer or entree, or serve it in sandwiches, and it is an especially common snack food in the American South. Many people make chicken salad to use up leftover chicken, and chicken can also be roasted, steamed, or fried specifically for the purpose of making chicken salad.
