Leftover chicken? Chicken Salad Recipe

Heather says:

Chicken salad is a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken. The pecans, celery, and apple all add flavor and crunch. Basil and lemon juice add a light touch of flavor.

Chicken Salad Ingredients

• 1 1/2 – 2 cups cooked chicken – diced
• 2 ribs celery chopped – roughly the same size as the chicken
• 1/2 an apple cored and chopped – again, same size
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• 2 TBSP mayonnaise
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• ~1/2 tsp dried basil
• salt/pepper to taste

Now this recipe is incredibly difficult, so pay close attention.

Chicken Salad Instructions

Mix the ingredients. (I do like to make this in the morning and let it hang out in the fridge for a few hours allowing the flavors to combine, but this is not critical.)

Spread on bread or crackers.

Serve.
