HOT CHICKEN SALAD
This is a recipe that I have had for decades and that I forgot about, until my sister made it for dinner when she had us over. It was so good to have it again and it reminded me, I like this stuff.
This dish has a great texture with the water chestnuts, celery and almonds. It is a must try if you have not had it before.
This is a recipe I had not made for decades, and then, this March 2026 I went to my sisters and she had it. I had totally forgotten about this recipe and really liked it.
