chicken salad

Cold mayonnaise mixture

Chicken salad is a cold dish of chopped or shredded chicken mixed with mayonnaise and various additions—celery, onion, herbs, nuts, or grapes.

It's typically served on bread as a sandwich, over greens, or with crackers: I'll have the chicken salad on croissant.

The phrase make chicken salad out of chicken shit means to create something good from poor materials.
