My Simple Chicken Salad

Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Our’s started off good until Saturday night.  We were eating supper and Sarah accidentally knocked Paul’s brand new iPhone 4 into her glass of milk. That pretty much killed it.  We’ve had it in a bag of rice since Saturday night. It seems to be coming back to life a bit at a time. I don’t think it will ever be the same.  Pretty sure we are going to be heading into the city to purchase a new one in the next couple of days.  Paul is dreading the expense but there is no way, as a web developer, that he can be without an iPhone.  Anyway, watch this space:)

Saturday, I made a big batch of chicken salad. It’s my simple way. I didn’t have almonds or pineapple on hand so it’s just plain. I love it this way though. So here is my way:) Yall enjoy!!

OK, HERE’S What You Need:

5 boneless skinless chicken breast

Salt, pepper, garlic powder

3 stalks of celery

1/2 yellow onion (this was on the smaller side)

about a cup of Mayonnaise

HERE’S What You Do:

Place the 5 boneless chicken breast on a foil lined pan.

Season - salt, pepper, garlic powder (or your fav seasoning)

Seal the foil. Bake at 350 F until done. About 45 minutes or so. My chicken was frozen so I had to cook longer.

Meanwhile, chop your celery and onion

Let your chicken cool for a bit.

Chop your chicken into 1/2 inch chunks

Shred the chunks a bit. Not to much though.

Add onions, celery and Mayo (1 cup) to your chicken. This is where you can also add pineapple or almonds... OR BOTH! If you do add pineapple, you might want to cut back on your mayo because the juice.

***MIX. Taste and adjust your seasoning***

I love it on the white bread that sticks to the roof of your mouth it's so fresh:) OR, you can just eat it right out of the bowl! However, if you added the other ingredients, you might want to be a bit more civilized and serve it on pretty bread or a crisp lettuce leaf. Anyway you serve it, it's going to be SO goooooooood:)
