Fairfield Grocery's Chicken Salad image

I had this at our office Thanksgiving potluck yesterday - it's so good! My preferred chicken salad has always been super, super simple - chicken, celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt - not really a big fan of grapes, pecans or apples in chicken salad. Everyone at work enjoyed this recipe, and my co-worker told me it was a Southern Living recipe.
