Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken I prefer rotisserie chicken, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon seasoned salt OR salt and pepper to taste
  • ¾ cup celery diced
  • 1 cup red grapes halved, crisp
  • 2 tablespoons scallions optional, finely diced
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
  • ⅓ cup pecans optional, chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, seasoning, celery, grapes and optional scallions and dried cranberries . Mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours. If desired, add pecans just before serving.
  2. Serve on croissants with crisp lettuce, stuffed in pita bread or rolled in a wrap.

Notes

  • I’ve also made this using Boar’s Head Everroast Chicken with fantastic results. Just ask your local deli for thick slices, so you are able to cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • If you don’t care for celery, try swapping it for ¾ cup diced apple.
