Spicy Chicken Salad

Recipe #301622 | 55 min | 35 min prep | SERVES 4 , 4 sandwiches (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Q & A's Mom

Not your usual chicken salad, the habanero and lemon give it a nice kick. If you like you can poach or grill the chicken. I have tried both and it's delicious either way. On days when it's just too hectic, I have purchased a rotisserie chicken and just shredded the meat, great time saver. Enjoy!!
