Marshall Fields Chicken Salad

This is THE BEST chicken salad I have ever had...   
It's multi-step, but well worth the
time...   Spread it out over several days...

Use to make Marshall Field's Chicken Salad Sandwiches, 
posted separately.

From Dominique Fouillard-Bayat, Ex Chef of Marshall 
Fields, in Houston.
