If you have been reading here for any legnth of time, you know that I am all about easy recipes. I do not have a whole lot of patience when it comes to preparing food. My children inhale their food so quickly that I do not think it even has time to touch their tastebuds.
Also, it is now summer and we are often out of the house for the day. I don’t really feel like making big meals every single day. Sandwiches are a working mother’s friend, whether you are working in the home or out.
I had bought some rotisserie chickens from the grocery store for dinner one night. There wasn’t enough left to make a full meal for my family so I decided to make chicken salad. It was fabulous. The kids all loved it. It was da bomb. Did I just age myself terribly with that or what? I don’t even know where it came from, some back cobwebby corner of my brain, I guess.
You will need:
2 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
1 small minced onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup mayonaisse
Step One:
Except for the grapes. Chop all of your ingredients up and toss in the bowl.
Step Two:
Add the mayonaisse, Worcestershire sauce and salt. Stir well.
Step Three:
Add the grapes and gently stir to mix.
Step Four:
Serve on some lightly toasted bread. The bread in the photo is gluten free bread. It is Udi’s brand and so good it tastes just like real bread. And those are salt and vinegar chips. You don’t have to serve it with those, but why not? They just make everything taste better.
And best of all, you don’t have to heat the kitchen all up.

That is pretty similar to how I make mine, except that I never thought to add Worcestershire sauce. Someone once told me that a couple of dashes of curry are good, so I do that and it makes it taste even better.

Mmmmm….My mom used to make this when I was in high school. Love it. Also, I just saw this over at Babble recently. Great summer recipe!

Worcestire sauce!! Who knew?!?! I LOVE chicken salad with grapes, which I’ve generally enjoyed at fancy sandwhich places but never at home. And I wondered what was in there beside mayonnaise to make it taste so good. Now, I will definitely make this at home. Thank you!

I thought that was GF bread!! I am completely and utterly in love with Udi’s bread. It is SO good.
And chicken salad = YUM. It is something I haven’t had in the nearly 2 years I’ve been GF. Will have to go fix that soonly.
