Lighter Chicken Salad

I have so many chicken salad recipes here on Skinnytaste because it's on of my favorite things to make ahead for lunch, from Cilantro Chicken Salad, Chicken Waldorf Salad, and Chicken Salad with Dill, to name a few.

I always make my chicken salad from scratch by cooking the chicken breast in chicken broth and I usually add some onion, parsley and celery to the broth to give the chicken a lot of flavor. Using light mayonnaise and some of the broth keeps the chicken salad moist without having to add too much mayo.
