Chicken salad.
I've been craving it all week. But haven't had the time to make it. As easy as it is, I have never made it..I've always loved my maw maw's chicken salad more than anything in the world. She didn't make it often, but when she did, we would put some in some pita bread. It was awesome. Untiiillll I found out that she makes it from.....canned chicken!!!!!! I think I haven't ever made it because ever since then it always grosses me out. I am leery to eat it because when I see it all I think is that it came out of a can. That has a shelf life of like..12 years. Well maybe not that long, but anything that can sit on a shelf for that long and still be edible just disgusts me. Also, just think about what they put in it that makes it stay good for that long!! Ew. The only thing I think I use that is canned is (occasionally) black beans to throw in my chili. That is if I haven't soaked and cooked my own. Every once in awhile I'll use a can of crushed tomatoes..anyway..I'm on a really long bunny trail to say that I made chicken salad. Ha! I looked up so many different recipes and just decided that I would make mine up and see how it turned out. And I love it! I just baked my chicken in the oven..instead of mayo, I used greek yogurt. I threw in some toasted walnuts (I love the texture!), dill seed (I smushed it up-I think dill is one of my favorite tastes!), some juice from half of a lemon, a bell pepper, a little celery, and some onion and garlic seasoning and I think that was about it. I'm not a huge fan of apples (it's a texture thing) or grapes in my chicken salad, so this one turned out awesome!
That's all.
Just wanted to write about chicken salad.
Did I say chicken salad enough times in this post?
