This was absolutely the BEST chicken salad I have ever had the pleasure of eating! I know this is supposed to be an appetizer but this is going into the lunch rotation as it made a fine sandwich on a hearty bread. Definitely a keeper!<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"04\/27\/2012 18:53","GUID":"9cac829dfedb49ae9d43c8d5659b649d","MemberId":6123503,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Memaw2405","SubmittedDate":"04\/27\/2012 18:52"},{"Comment":"

This recipe is WONDERFUL! My son and husband fought over the last of it! The only change I made was to use fat-free mayonnaise.<\/p>
I served it with a healthy asparagus dill soup! GREAT lunch<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"04\/07\/2012 16:10","GUID":"165fde0d4b5a4b58afe7a721ba04a015","MemberId":2175728,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"janetmsd","SubmittedDate":"04\/07\/2012 16:10"},{"Comment":"

Exceptional - I will definately make this MANY times. No changes necessary - absolutely PHENOMENAL. I will need to make another batch for the family get together this weekend. WOW! It is a clever recipe with the chicken, the honey, the smoked almonds. What a sweet harmony of flavors.

I left out the celery and honey because I don?t like celery and honey didn?t sound like it would be good in this recipe.<\/p>
A few substitutions: I used grilled chicken breast that I already had in the fridge, green onion instead of reg onion; Light mayo. It was very easy and very good. I served it with baked, whole grain pita chips.<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"04\/05\/2012 19:17","GUID":"059198a31b3147df976ad3465eb1efe6","MemberId":2964136,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"drmccurdy","SubmittedDate":"04\/05\/2012 19:17"},{"Comment":"
Haven't made this as yet, but I can judge the producy from the recipe when it is this simple. I will use my smoke\/grilled chicken and get the smoky taste, and use the pecans or walnuts, of which I have plenty and don't have smoky almonds without a special purchase. I know my church pals will love the sandwiches made with this when I take them for our lunch during our garage sale next week. I like it!<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"04\/05\/2012 16:20","GUID":"9ac311751ed74c1d9a7d1c9273e4f43f","MemberId":4456029,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"quickfix","SubmittedDate":"04\/05\/2012 16:20"},{"Comment":"

This is a wonderful recipe!! The honey adds a certain something you can't quite put your finger on, and the smoked almonds are excellent. I didn't have chicken when I made it, but I DID have a lot of leftover turkey breast, which I chopped very fine. It was awesome. I recommend buying somewhat expensive crackers--this spread deserves to be presented as nicely as possible (it's also terrific as a sandwich filling with a good, homemade soup).<\/p>","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"01\/03\/2012 05:27","GUID":"55E0BF1E79504DD2A15FF2BE9898050A","MemberId":3595759,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"LadySullen","SubmittedDate":"01\/03\/2012 05:27"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"06\/18\/2006 14:11","GUID":"1678598af3804fb99814dc392b4f6d21","MemberId":1210797,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Marie","SubmittedDate":"06\/18\/2006 14:11"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":51287,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
