If you’ve been around here for a while, you KNOW this one. My famous chicken salad! 🥐✨

This is one of those recipes I’ve made approximately 4,732 times, and somehow I still never get tired of it.

Make it for lunch, pile it onto a croissant, serve it with crackers, or eat it straight out of the bowl standing in front of the fridge. No judgment here. 😂

And if you’re new around here, consider this your official introduction to a Savor & Shine staple. ❤️

Recipe below in the comments!

Save this one because once you make it, I have a feeling it’s going into the regular rotation!

In case you missed this information, you may qualify for social security while still collecting your retirement pension! Mike, the PCRAE vice-president, sent this Clarion article about the successful legislation that Maine retired teachers have been waiting for!

Reminder that tomorrow is the last PCREA meeting for this year. We meet at the Penobscot County Conservation Club at 11:15. It is probably too late to purchase a meal for tomorrow, but please consider joining us when we start up in September. The dues are $5 a year, and the PCCC serves us a delicious lunch shortly after 11:30. This facility has plenty of parking and is located on the first floor. The programs after the luncheon have been excellent this year!!!
