Yum! We really enjoyed this very tasty chicken salad. I was intrigued by the addition of the tomato and green chilies and was pleasantly surprised by the subtle but spicy twist it gave to this chicken salad. I used Rotel original tomatoes and chilies and Flame seedless red grapes. I had some leftover rotisserie chicken breast meat, so I used about 1-1/2 cups of that in place of the chicken breast. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!

This was an amazing twist on the normal chicken salad. I used rotel tomatoes and the original spicy flavor because I had them on hand. I used red seedless grapes and pecans that I microwaved to get that toasty flavor. I really enjoyed this even with the tomatoes in there (generally don't care for them) because they were so small they were not overpowering. I especially liked the sweet/spicy/tart flavor combo. I will definitely make this again! Thanks for posting Syd! Oh and I ate this on a whole wheat bagel which was PERFECT! [Made for PRMR tag March 2010]

What a unique combination - this is my DH's new and only favorite chicken salad (as he generally dislikes them in any form). Everything goes together wonderfully. DH took the bowl and a spoon and ate the remaining leftovers! We'll be seeing this again in our house.
