NANCY'S CHICKEN SALAD



Nancy's Chicken Salad image

This is a recipe from my wife's grandmother. I would never eat chicken salad before, and soon as I tried this I was hooked. Ingredients are added to taste so I'm winging it for measurements.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 cup red seedless grapes (sliced to your liking)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (reg. or light)
1 celery rib, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook chicken how you like; I usually boil mine. Remove from water and let it cool. Chicken can be shredded with a fork, cut into cubes, or thrown into a food processor.
  • Add all ingredients in a bowl and mix together. If the Worcestershire and lemon is too strong, add extra mayo to taste.
  • Let it sit in the fridge for a bit because it tastes better cold.
