The Tale of Two Chicken Salads

Base ingredients are:
1 Rotisserie Chicken (I like Sam’s Club or Costco’s chickens)
1 Apple (I like Pink Lady apples but any apple will do the trick)
Mayonnaise

Remove meat from chicken (I use mostly just the white meat) and cut into bite size pieces.
Peel, core and chop the apple.

Here’s where your chicken salad can go either way.

For REGULAR CHICKEN SALAD I add about a cup of grapes (cut in half), sea salt and cracked pepper.
For CURRY CHICKEN SALAD I add a handful of golden raisins, garlic salt, cracked pepper and curry powder.

Back to the basics: Add enough mayonnaise for it to stick together. Refrigerate. Add a little more mayo just prior to serving.

De-lish.



You could also add chopped celery and/or onion. I don't like raw onion and celery isn't one of my favorites, but you can experiment and add what you like. Pears instead of apple, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, etc.
