This is the best chicken salad I have ever had. I could probably eat a bathtub full of this stuff. (This isn't the nasty, mayonnaise-infested rubbish that people put in sandwiches, by the way; it's a stand alone dish). Many thanks to Jeanette for the recipe!
BTW: Since I'm breastfeeding and can't eat parsley, I replaced the parsley with several sprigs of dill and leaves from a couple sprigs of tarragon (a little goes a long way!) It made it much more savory, but not nearly as summery.
Ingredients:
2 lbs. chicken breast
1/2 cup* regular mayonnaise
1 tsp* honey
2-3 stalks chopped celery
1/2 cup* halved red grapes
handful of parsley chopped
salt and pepper
*All amounts are approximate, as I do it by sight. Tweak the amounts to suit your taste.
Directions:
Cook the chicken breast and allow to cool enough to handle. Shred chicken into small pieces. Chop celery, parsley and grapes and add to chicken. Add honey, salt and pepper, and mayonnaise. Mix and tweak to taste!
Another variation that I really like has dried cranberries and toasted walnut pieces instead of the grapes and celery; all the other ingredients stay the same. This is particularly good in the fall :)
