Holly's Note:

The week we moved was busy and stressful. My girlfriend brought us dinner one night which included this yummy chicken salad.  It was fantastic.  Very light, but very filling.  When I finally got the recipe from her, I couldn't wait to make it.  It would work with any kind of bread roll, but Ciabatta rolls are fantastic.  I had shredded turkey in the freezer and simply thawed it out to add to this recipe.  This is a definite keeper in our house!
