Fixate Creamy Chicken Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing



I loved this and this will be a go-to lunch for me!  It makes enough for a few days and I think it was actually better the next day.  Make it super easy on yourself and get a rotisserie cooked chicken at the grocery store.  Makes the prep of this super fast and you have more chicken for other recipes for the week.
