TOP SECRET Chicken Salad
Today I had a hankering for chicken salad. By hankering, I mean when a pregnant woman craves a specific food.... she had better get it QUICK or havoc will occur.
So, I made this:
Now, this recipe is STOLEN. It's my BFF, Jennifer's, recipe. And, she probably got it from her mama. They are both great cooks and worthy to steal recipes from. I did NOT ask her permission to post this (better to ask forgiveness than permission, right?). Let's hope it's not a family secret. Just promise me that if you use it that you "didn't get it from here.". Wink, wink.
So, here is the best recipe for chicken salad.... that you did NOT get from me.
Amber's Notes: I like to serve it in a pita bread pocket instead of bread. Yum. And, if I'm in a pinch I will use canned chicken-- but I buy the 'nice' kind that's all white chicken breast meat from Sam's Club. I'm sure Jennifer's never used canned chicken; she is way more fancy than that. If I have time or if I'm cooking for someone important, I cook & shred my own chicken.
So, try it and love it. But, you did NOT get this top secret recipe from me. Wink, wink.

CHICKEN SALAD
2 cups cooked, diced chicken
3/4 cups diced celery
1 cup seedless grapes (I cut the big ones into 4ths)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup mayo (I use lowfat real mayo)
1/2 cup almonds (sliced) OR pecans (I use almonds)
1 cup pineapple chunks (I use the can kind and cut them even smaller. Also, drain well.)
1 TBSP lemon juice
1/2 cup sour cream
Chopped onions (optional)
Mix together & chill.
