Here is what you need:

This recipe is delicious no matter what kind of chicken you use, whether baked chicken breasts, store-bought rotisserie chicken or canned chicken breast! Chicken Salad with Sundried Tomatoes and Pesto

Then choose your bread (or lettuce if you're watching "carbs").

My favorite choice is chicken salad on a croissant, but any bread works too!

    That looks delicious. I have used pesto in a few recipes as well. It does gives the dish added flavor. The girls at my Bible Study group often request chicken salad. Maybe, I will try your recipe the next time. The last time I bought a big container of croissants from Wal-Mart. The ones that were left over I froze for the next round of chicken salad. I don' t eat chicken salad...but don't mind making it for the girls.
