This thread will be gold for you then. There is a ton of great stuff throughout.
One thing that I find is fun to see evolve as you add your own touches is chicken salad. There is a limitless number of ways to make it, and it can be fantastic and even refined if done right, so that's where I would start.
First question to ask is do you want to dice or shred the chicken? I suggest poaching the chicken and shredding it. Some folks prefer chunks.
Submitted for consideration:
Red grapes
Curry powder
Celery
Onion powder
Shaved almonds
Mayonnaise
But as I said, it's a great thing to just keep tweaking until you find your own way.
I find it difficult to avoid just eating it with a fork out of the bowl, but when I do manage to do so, if you can find nice soft ciabatta, it makes the perfect sandwich.
I dunno. Just throwing out an idea.
