A very tasty lunch for the busy holiday season. Your eating in 10 minutes with minimal work.
Inspired by Martha Stewart’s Classic Chicken Salad with a few minor changes
Rating
An odd rating considering it came from a can, but the can had no effect on the outcome. I will need to keep some of this around.
Notes:
Any chicken should do as long as it is a little chunky. The canned chicken was a little too chunky, and I broke it apart a little. I got a cup and a half from the 13 oz can of chicken. AND it was tasty. Who would have to thunk it?
Any chicken will do as long as it is chunky. Dice 1 stalk of celery and half a small red onion finely.
Combine 1 1/2 cup diced chicken, 1/4 cup mayo, 1/2 small red onion diced, 1 stalk celery diced, 1/2 t parsley, 2 t lemon juice, 1/2 t Dijon mustard, 1/2 t salt, and 1/4 t pepper.
Mix well and serve on a sandwich, salad or in a wrap.

Hi Lissa,
Welcome to the blog. Cooked diced chicken does not have an exact conversion to weight and then they dump “packing water” in also.
Having said that 1/2 cup of diced chicken should weigh 4-5 oz. There are variables with hydration and size of the dice. A half cup is a large serving. I would make 1/3 to 1/2 cup of chicken per person. Better a little too much than not enough.
Our local Sams Club sells cut up rotisserie chickens from the day before that I usually use for this and my cleaning lady gets the local Meijers (think kind of a Walmart) will strip the meat off the bone for free. I also keep a few cans (12 oz each I think) in the pantry. It yields about 8 oz which is really “cooking for two” size.

This is how I like mine. I don’t enjoy the ones that have grapes, apple, and/or nuts in them. I guess that’s just because this is how my mom made it, without all the frills.
