Are You a Chicken Salad Chick?

I love to eat at Chicken Salad Chick! It began in Auburn, Alabama which isn’t too far from us, so it arrived in our city pretty early on (2012, I think). My brother-in-law gave it a try first and told us how good it was, so we went soon after that. After our meal, my daughter, who was much younger at the time, filled out a customer survey card and when it asked, “Who told you about us?”, she simply wrote “Uncle Derrick”. So cute! I’m sure the manager got a good little chuckle from that card, having no idea who this Uncle Derrick was.

Since then, it’s been a family favorite–yes, the guys too!! It’s great for a night that Mom isn’t cooking but we don’t want heavy, fried fast food, and it’s also been great for girls’ days out with friends. We each have our regular orders, but we also enjoy trying anything new they add to the menu. They also have really good sweet tea, and in the summer, they have watermelon tea that is so refresing!

While I love to make my own homemade chicken salad, sometimes when we have company or a picnic or other fun occasion, it’s just a treat to pick up a few of their different flavors. Back in the spring our sweet friends from Birmingham came to our house for a girls’ day to catch up. Before they had moved to Birmingham, we used to eat at Chicken Salad Chick together. So, for old times’ sake, I picked up 3 kinds of chicken salad and then made some salad sides to go with it. Ladies, don’t we just love a plate like this!
