Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken diced (rotisserie or boiled chicken works well)
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 1 cup seedless grapes halved
  • 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds optional, for crunch
  • 1 cup mayonnaise Paula Deen style uses real mayo
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, celery, grapes, and toasted almonds.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the mayo mixture over the chicken mixture.
  4. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated and well combined.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving so flavors can blend.
  6. Serve chilled on lettuce leaves, sandwich bread, or with crackers.
