I love chicken and always look for ways to spice up leftovers. This recipe accomplishes all that and takes only 5 minutes to make! A perfect, low-cost, nutritious sandwich filling. Perfect for entertaining (tea sandwiches, anyone?) this is a huge it for my Mothers Day Brunch.

How To Make italian-style chicken salad

Step 1

Toss together chicken, Italian dressing, bell pepper, basil, and half of mayo. Fold in remaining mayo until chicken salad reaches your desired creaminess. Chill immediately.

Step 2

To serve: Use chicken salad to top crackers as a light appetizer, use as filling in sandwiches (goes great with whole wheat bread), or this salad can be served as part of a cold salad buffet. This is a great way to use leftover chicken.
