Steps:
- 1. Combine all chicken salad ingredients in bowl and mix well. This is a very hot and spicy recipe, but you can reduce the chipotle and jalapeno pepper if you wish. (The pickled jalapeno gives the chicken salad a little of the tartness that we expect with dill pickles in a traditional chicken salad.)
- 2. Once mixed, sprinkle garlic powder on the bread or rolls, spray with cooking spray and then toast under the broiler.
- 3. Spread chicken salad mixture on the toasted bread, and choose a garnish, if you wish. Try pineapple or peach slices (even better if it's grilled.) The sweetness of the fruit will complement and tame the heat from the peppers. Avocado is also a tasty garnish.

CLASSIC CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES
Steps:
- To bake boneless chicken breasts, preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking pan with foil.
- Arrange the chicken on the pan and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake until the chicken registers 165 F on a food thermometer. Depending on the size and thickness of the boneless chicken breasts, it will take 22 to 30 minutes. Let cool and chop.
- To poach boneless chicken breasts, place chicken in a single layer in a deep skillet or sauté pan.
- If desired, add some herbs and chopped aromatic vegetables, such as onions, garlic, or carrots. Cover the chicken with water (about 1/2 to 1 inch above the chicken breasts) and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and continue cooking for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
- Check the chicken breasts with a food thermometer to ensure they are done to at least 165 F. Let cool and chop.
- Once you've cooked the chicken, gather all of the ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooked, chopped chicken, onion, celery, and egg. Stir to combine.
- Add 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, the dill pickle relish, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Stir to blend well.
- Add more mayonnaise to moisten, if desired.
- Serve on bread with lettuce and enjoy.

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN SALAD
A wonderful blend of spices, herbs, and a bit of a "bite" from the jalapeno combine so well with the chicken and corn in this salad. One of my favorites! If you can't get fresh corn, you may substitute frozen corn.
