Chicken Salad


I made this for dinner tonight using Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs because I was out of Chicken Breasts and you can get a big bag at Costco that helps to stretch the budget in between shopping trips. But in all fairness I would prefer white meat to dark meat. Personal preference on mayo always goes to Best foods/Hellmans Real Mayonnaise. I hope that you enjoy.

Ingredients:
3-4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
water
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup diced celery (optional)
1/4-1/2 cup diced onion
1 1/2 cups sliced grapes
1/4 cup Mayonnaise

Directions:
In a pot cover chicken breasts with water. Boil Chicken until it can be easily separated with a fork. When chicken is finished remove from water and shred. I will use the food processor for this. My suggestion is to only pulse for 1/2 a minute. Any longer and it will break the chicken up too much and will make it grainy tasting. After shredding the chicken set it in the fridge to cool. When you are ready to mix ingredients together remove chicken from fridge and add carrots, onions, grapes, celery and mayonnaise into a mixing bowl with chicken. Mix and Serve.

Serving Suggestions:
croissants, rolls, pita bread, crackers, or on a bed of lettuce.
