Easy Lunch Ideas: Quick Chicken Salad Recipe

My Hollar Homemade streak continues! I’ve done some fun appetizers and cocktails, but today I’m conquering a lunch recipe. My husband loves chicken salad and would eat it almost every day if he could. So I found a quick chicken salad recipe and gave it a whirl! While the chicken takes a while to cook, the rest of the steps are easy to throw together and serve. I was thinking and this would be so cute so a baby shower/bridal shower finger food on some King’s Hawaiian Rolls!

This recipe makes five servings if you want more just double the ingredients. Serve on regular loaf bread, bagels, crackers, croissant, rolls, on a salad, whatever you fancy for your lunch.
