Chicken salad isn’t just for the summer months! This Hot Chicken Salad recipe takes the ease and tastiness of my delicious chicken salad sandwiches and transitions it into a cool-weather fan favorite.

Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken (like rotisserie chicken!)
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds divided
