I make mine pretty much like PatriceJ except I add pineapple tidbits instead of apples and if I want to make it a main course I add some cooked orzo. I also add a little pineapple juice and a tablespoon of sugar to the mayo mixture, Just a little sweeter

I use baked chicken breasts cut into small chunks, minced onion, diced celery, salt and pepper, mayo and about a teaspoon of curry powder. Yummy.

I make mine with deboned, chopped or ground (run through the food processor) cooked rotisserie chicken. Then I add diced boiled eggs, sweet pickle relish, mayo and yellow mustard. Sometimes, I cut seedless grapes in half and add them at the end, and/or add pecans or walnuts. Sometimes, I add cold slaw dressing instead of Pickles, mayo & mustard and add apples or grapes. I still use the eggs in both recipes. I like the sound of some of the other recipes here. Got to write them down and try them.

Edited to add: Another recipe is the chopped chicken and sandwich spread. Boiled eggs if you want to.

Make sure to keep the bones on while poaching the chicken breasts - the taste is more rich that way. I cut up the cooled meat and add halved grapes, chopped celery, and some walnuts (sometimes) like everyone else. But I add just a bit of curry powder to the mayo and sometimes raisins. Yum. Reminds me of summer!

We recently sold our Specialty Food/Market after 10 years. We made a popular chicken salad which our customers loved.

Baked chicken breasts (seasoned with s&p and olive oil)
toasted walnuts
Dried cranberries
celery
shallots
fresh tarragon
and then we made a tarragon aioli (mayo, vinegar, more fresh tarragon s&p)
We served it on a croissant. I’ve also made these for my kids on the day of their wedding while everyone was getting dressed up.

If anyone wants the measurements PM and I’ll pull get it out of my cookbook.

We use cashews in ours instead of pecans. Otherwise it's the same basic recipe....white meat chicken, grapes, celery and mayo. Salt and pepper to taste .Easy peasy!

These all sound wonderful. I am going to try them all

Lots of wonderful ideas, the only thing I insist on is real Hellman's mayonnaise. The low fat, ,olive oil, or diet mayonnaise's just don't have the flavor. Of course, if your a Blue Plate fan, only that will do.

This is my recipe but without the apple and onions, and I usually use red or green grapes (halved), and always include diced hard boiled eggs. If I don't have grapes, I use diced crisp Bread and Butter pickles (for sweetness) with all the other ingredients: eggs, celery, pecans or walnuts. Also, my family prefers Miracle Whip to mayo, but that's just a personal preference. I do add salt unless the chicken was cooked in a very salty broth.

I've never heard of pork loin salad, but this is a great idea!
