Festive Chicken Salad

Here's my recipe for Chicken Salad and it's perfect {looking anyway} for Christmas parties and shin-digs!  My husband and kids love it.  It's pretty easy too, depending on how much you're planning on making.  

A "vat" of chicken salad I made last Saturday -  enough to feed 200 people.

All you do:

Boil your chicken.  If you want to save time you can use your crock pot.  Let the chicken cook in water on high all night while you sleep.  When you wake up you should be able to shred it easily.  

Add {to your shredded chicken}:

Celery Seed to taste

Diced Red Grapes - be sure you get seedless or cut all the seeds out

Thawed Green Peas

Diced Onions

Mayo or Miracle Whip

{And no, I don't know how much of each.  I just add it till it looks right and all of my taste testers approve.}

Tastes great with bread, wheat crackers, or on pita bread! 

Money Saving Tip:

Be sure to save your chicken broth to make soups, gravy, or to add to your mashed potatoes.

I have almost 8 quarts of chicken broth left from all those pots of chicken I boiled on Saturday.  I use allot of cream of chicken soup around the Holidays, so I decided to save my broth to make some homemade cream of chicken soup.
