Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bunch seedless grapes (1 1/2 - 2 pounds)
2 large red delicious apples
1 jar(s) mayonnaise, 30 oz.
1 pkg chopped walnuts, 4 oz
1 pkg chopped pecans, 4 oz
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp Emeril's Original Essence Seasoning
1/4 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. I use a pressure cooker but you can boil the chicken breasts. Place 5 breasts in a pressure cooker.
  • 2. Add seasonings. I use seasoning salt, garlic powder, pepper, and Emeril's Essence.
  • 3. Then add water to cover chicken by 1-2". Cook for 20 - 25 mins.
  • 4. In a big bowl, shred chicken breast (remove all fat as you go).
  • 5. Add grapes. I usually cut mine in 4-6 pieces...nice little chunks.
  • 6. Add a good covering of walnuts and pecans.
  • 7. Add the Red Delicious apples. I cut mine into maybe 1/2" chunks. I peel mine but you may like the skin.
  • 8. Add a jar of mayo. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • 9. Mix well so you get a little of everything in every bite.
  • 10. I like mine on regular old saltine crackers but I am sure it would be good on toast as well. It is even good by itself.
