Made using just three simple ingredients, this basic chicken salad is great on a sandwich or atop a bed of lettuce. You can also use it to make bite-sized party appetizers. You can make it using poached chicken, grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken or canned chicken -- whatever you have on hand.
Add pickle relish. Slowly add mayonnaise, stirring to combine. Be careful not to add more mayonnaise than is required to bind the chicken salad together or it could overpower the dish.
Serve on a bed of lettuce, on white bread or toasted wheat bread or in phyllo cups as an appetizer.
