Chicken Salad
I am a self admitted Chicken Salad Snob. I can’t be the only one, right? This is a recipe I’ve worked on over the years to hit all the right notes. There’s a touch of sweetness, a good bit of crunch, and a perfect creaminess to make this girl very happy. I hope you will give it a try!
To a sauce pan add:
4 cups Water 2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Thyme 2 tsp. Dried Diced Onions
1 Bay Leaf 1 tsp. Parsley
1 clove Garlic, smashed
Cover pan and place over med-high heat for about 15 minutes; until it is simmering and just beginning to boil.
After 15 minutes, Add:
3 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
Return to a boil, then cover and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until done.
While chicken is cooking begin preparing your add-ins:
1/4 of a sweet Onion, finely diced 1 stalk Celery, finely diced
1-1/2 cups grapes, quartered 1/4 cup Pecan pieces
Place add-ins into a large bowl. Once chicken is cooked, dice into 1/4” pieces and add to bowl. Top with:
4 Tbsp Mayonnaise, heaping
Stir gently to combine and adjust salt/pepper as needed. Enjoy!
