Easy Molded Chicken Salad image

This is a tasty Molded Chicken Salad. It is a culmination of a couple of recipes I found on the web. I don't have a jello mold so I use an 8x8" square Pyrex dish. The portions are quite thick. I am sure you can use a 9x13" baking instead if you want thinner portions.

I'm not sure about the molded shape, but the flavors sound delicious. I might try making it in a more traditional way.
