Fruity Nutty Chicken Salad Food

FRUITY NUTTY CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• 1. I use a pressure cooker but you can boil the chicken breasts. Place 5 breasts in a pressure cooker.
• 2. Add seasonings. I use seasoning salt, garlic powder, pepper, and Emeril's Essence.
• 3. Then add water to cover chicken by 1-2". Cook for 20 - 25 mins.
• 4. In a big bowl, shred chicken breast (remove all fat as you go).
• 5. Add grapes. I usually cut mine in 4-6 pieces...nice little chunks.
• 6. Add a good covering of walnuts and pecans.
• 7. Add the Red Delicious apples. I cut mine into maybe 1/2" chunks. I peel mine but you may like the skin.
• 8. Add a jar of mayo. Salt and pepper to taste.
• 9. Mix well so you get a little of everything in every bite.
• 10. I like mine on regular old saltine crackers but I am sure it would be good on toast as well. It is even good by itself.
