Chicken Salad

Whenever I have leftover chicken that is getting kind of dry, I make chicken salad. This is so easy to throw together for lunch or dinner. I usually have bell pepper around, but you could use any veggies you have, cucumber is also really good. This is more of a "deviled" chicken salad since it has mustard and that is my favorite part. For a really healthy version use low or non-fat mayo and eat with lettuce instead of bread.
