Chicken Salad

I absolutely LOVE chicken salad. I find it so yummy and light, especially during the summer months. I'm sharing my favorite variation for you to try. It makes the perfect lunch! 


Chicken Salad

Servings: About 6 

Ingredients: 

2 chicken breasts, cooked through and diced 

1/2 cup grapes, halved

4 stalks of celery, diced

2 tablespoons of red or green onion

1/3 cup of mayonnaise 

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Place your chicken, grapes, celery and onion in a large bowl and give everything a good mix. 
  2. Add in your mayonnaise and salt and pepper and give mix until everything is evenly coated. Feel free to add in more mayonnaise if you like a creamier salad. 
  3. Store in the fridge, and eat within three days. 

*I like to buy two chicken breasts from the store that are trimmed. Then I roast them in the oven with a little olive oil and salt/pepper until they are cooked through. Once they are finished cooking I cover the pan with foil for about 5-10 minutes before dicing. I find that this last step helps keep your chicken nice and tender rather than drying out. 😊

Friday Favorites [7-3-2026]

  It's Friday, and it's the 4th of July Eve! Sounds pretty good to me. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  I'm dipping my toe back into blog world because, well, I am missing documenting my kids' childhoods. It brings me such joy to go back and read through memories from years before documented in old posts, so I'm determined to hang out here a bit more consistently to share life.  This summer, I've got a seven (7?!) year old and a new 3 year old. Someone the other day was talking about what a difference a year makes from summer to summer and it is so true. For example, this year Jack and Sammy love to go play together. Last year, both boys required constant supervision. Last year Jack hated going to the pool, and this year he is a little fish! This is a BIG favorite for me! Last weekend Sammy participated in a "Run Hit Pitch" competition and won first place for hitting in his age division. He was so ...

Friday Favorites [6-14-2024]

  I hate to be the one to point it out...but how in the world is June almost halfway over?! I would like to hit the "slow down" button on summer, please. 😉 Like usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from our week. Here we go! You'll notice that many of my "favorites" are food related this week. One of the reasons I love summer is that the cooking is easy, and I can take some time making things I typically wouldn't have time for. Wednesday evening we grilled pork chops and I was hunting for a side dish. I found the ingredients for taco dip and we gobbled it right up. Taco dip is basically a salad, yes?  Jack (and big brother!) have been loving water play this summer. It has been extra warm this week, so it's been a great way to beat the heat.  We had burgers this week using my very favorite  recipe . This meal is probably one of Dustin's most loved meals! Ugh. I love watermelon. I ate SO MUCH of it during my preg...

Friday Favorites [7-10-2026]

  It's Friday!  I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. Here we go!  Easy favorite was our Fourth of July! We had a festive day - we went to our parade in the morning and hosted a party in the evening. Look at these cute boys!  Big fan of fireworks and sparklers over here.  Sammy's favorite from the week was the visiting frogs and axolotls to our local library. He has big dreams of owning an axolotl - he's done extensive research 😉 - but we've come to the conclusion that the age of 14 seems reasonable to own an axolotl. Haha. He was very excited to see them up close and in person!  Our slow mornings of a cold brew + the boys playing in the basement are my FAVORITE for sure! I love these days.  Roo's favorite was easily sitting on my lap while I read outside. If you see a dachshund shaped tan line on my legs, no you don't. 😅 I have been eating this  High Protein Chicken Salad  on repeat for lunches! It i...
