This is very similar to my Shrimp & Macaroni Salad, but I prefer to use just Miracle Whip with chicken, versus the combination of that & mayonnaise.  The smaller Lemon Pepper rotisserie chickens from Walmart are the perfect size and seasonings for this recipe, and much cheaper than buying one and trying to roast yourself!
