Julie's Chicken Salad

‍

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breasts or 1 rotisserie chicken shredded
• 1 honey crisp apple
• 1 lemon
• 1 cup of red or green grapes
• 1 cup celery
• 1 cup pecan
• Salt & Pepper (fine powder)
• 1 to 1.5 cups mayo
• 1 tsp ranch seasoning

Instructions

• Bring a pot of water to a boil
• Cube the chicken breasts and add to water, cook about 12 minutes or until inside of chicken is no longer pink
• Remove chicken from water and set aside in a bowl to cool
• Dice your apple and squeeze half of a lemon on top of it to keep it from browning
• Halve all of the grapes
• Chop pecans
• Dice celery
• Shred your chicken either with a fork or with a stand mixer on low
• Combine ingredients in a large bowl
• Add 1 cup of mayo and stir. If it feels too dry, add 1/2 cup more at a time until you get the consistency you want.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. I use fine powder over the coarse because I don't like the chunks in my chicken salad.
• Add 1 tsp of ranch seasoning
• Mix everything to combine and let cool in refrigerator for 30 minutes
• Serve on your favorite bread or cracker!
