Ultimate Chicken Salad a la Jake Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Ultimate Chicken Salad a la Jake Recipe). Best chicken salad I ever had- a little homemade Aioli mayo with chicken, sun-dried tomato, olive and thyme. Great on sandwiches or on romaine lettuce. This recipe adapts to various tastes well- for instance, it goes great with crumbled bacon, minced red onion, touch of sage, or red wine vinegar instead of the aioli.
