Amazing Chicken Salad

Chicken salad is the perfect "salad".  Put it on a croissant, sliced bread, a bed of lettuce, or in a bowl.  This recipe brings lots of flavor to one of my favorite dishes.

You will need:

2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

(You can also use rotisserie or any other precooked chicken)

1 c. Mayo 

2 Stalks Celery- Finely Chopped

1/4 - 1/3 c. Red Onion- Finely Chopped

1 c. Red Grapes- Quartered

1-2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice

Salt & Pepper

Garlic Powder

1/4 c. Chopped Pecans or Almonds (Optional)

Preheat oven 350º.  Lightly sprinkle chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  Bake until no longer pink in center.  Do not overcook, it will cause the chicken to dry out and become hard.  Cut into halves.

Finely chop celery and red onion, slice & quarter grapes.

Place cooked & halved chicken breasts in standing mixer with paddle attachment.  Place on Speed 1 to shred chicken.

 Add celery, red onion, grapes, lemon juice, mayo, salt & pepper to taste.  Stir on low speed until combined.  Add nuts if desired.

Cover and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.  Serve on a fresh croissant and... TAADAA!!!  The BEST Chicken Salad EVER!
