Finally took a picture ((Chicken Salad revisited))

The first time I made the chicken salad, I only made about 2-3 cups. I was experimenting so I didn't want to make too much. Well it was all gobbled up fast and so my boyfriend asked if I could make some more. This time I made a large bowl of it. So I whipped out my camera because I knew I forgot the last time.


Last time I cooked the chicken on a grill pan and it looked like this:


And it caused the chicken salad to have a pretty light brown color instead of white.
This time I poached the chicken at the suggestion of my boyfriend, but I think I actually liked it better on the grill pan. (Unless I simply suck at poaching chicken). I liked it in chunks (like the grilled chicken first time I made it), rather than shredded (like I had to do with the poached chicken).

Chicken Salad Picnic

Today for our picnic, I made chicken salad, cole slaw and deviled eggs....and also had some store bought fruit salad. This was my first time making chicken salad and it came out soooo good that I wanted to jot down the ingredients so i won't forget. We ate it on 12 grain bread with romaine lettuce.

CHICKEN SALAD INGREDIENTS:
marinated cooked chicken breast
mayo
coleslaw dressing
chopped celery
toasted walnuts
dried cranberry
onion powder
garlic powder
sea salt
fresh dill

Mix all ingredients together and chill in the fridge.

(Next time I'll try to remember to take a picture!) :-D
