Chicken Salad
Ingredients
3 large or 4 medium sized chicken breasts
1/2 cup of chopped celery
3 green onions/scallions
1 T tarragon
1 t basil
1/4 t mustard
Dash of onion powder
Dash of garlic powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup of lite mayo
First, you'll want to grill your chicken breasts. I just throw these on the grill with whatever else I'm cooking and then set them aside. No need to add any seasoning to the chicken, we'll take care of that later.
Once the chicken has been cooked, let it thoroughly cool. Foodie Tip: I usually make the chicken a day in advance and then throw it in the fridge over night. Once your chicken has cooled down, you will shred it with your fingers. I break it up into little bite sized pieces. I know it's gross touching it with your hands, but it's also the best method.
Now chop up your green onion and celery. Make sure you wash your celery. There tends to be a lot of dirt on celery, so use a vegetable brush to help. Slice each celery in half length-wise and then chop. Throw into the bowl with your chicken. Add in your spices, mustard, and mayo and give a good toss.
You can add grapes to this if you choose, but I like it just as is. This will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, but it probably won't even last that long! Eat it as is, on bread, or on top of some greens. It's awesome in lunches and on picnics too.
