Cilantro Chicken Salad Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Cilantro Chicken Salad Recipe). This is my twist on a recipe I found for the traditional chicken salad but without the mayo! It's best served in a wrap with lettuce and tomato or over your favorite green salad. I have found it's also very easy to make even lighter by using fat-free broth, lite soy sauce, and sugar substitute - none of which affects the taste!
