Basic Chicken Salad

So I know that everyone has chicken salad recipes that they like....my favorite is the one that Becky makes...I don't think that recipe is on here. We should get it on here.
I had a lunch/playdate with a friend and her kids today and was trying to think of something easy and yummy for lunch. Amy suggested chicken salad on flat bread pitas. It was delicious, and it was a nice change on the pita bread. The recipe that Amy gave me was from allrecipes.com. It is the Basic Chicken Salad. To be honest, I have never made chicken salad. I am not sure why. I guess I usually just wait for someone to make it for me. This recipe was really easy, but I am assuming that they are all really easy because this tasted just like most that I have had. I left out the fruit and nuts for lunch (we ate the leftovers for dinner and I added grapes and stuff then.) I also added onion and garlic powder.
Anyway, easy and delicious.
