Ingredients

  • 1/2 of a whole chicken picked from the bones and cooled
  • 1/2 cup grapes diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 1/2 cup homemade mayo
  • salt

Instructions

  • Shred half a whole chicken. 
  • Add in mayo, salt, and seasonings. Mix.
  • Throw in diced onions, grapes, celery, and pecans. Mix.

Notes

  • If there is a vegetable your kids don’t like, dice it up really finely. My kids are not fans of onion, so I dice it really small and they eat it up.
  • If you are adding avocados to your chicken salad, add them last so they don’t get as smushed.
  • Chicken salad is very versatile; try adding your own variations with different fresh vegetables.
  • Adding fresh herbs really give these recipes that extra pop of flavor.
