Chicken Salad

Okay-sorry I forgot to take a picture of this one (I am new at this still), but I have to say chicken salad is one of my favorite things to eat-mostly because it is so versatile, and no matter what you add, it is almost always amazing! Here is my recipe I used (this time anyway)!

1 rotisserie chicken (this has got to be one of the best things in a super market you can buy!!) skin removed
2-3 bunches of red grapes (or however much you like) I have also used mandarin oranges-yummy!!!
1/2-1 cup of chopped pecans (you can toast these too if you like)
1/4-1/2 red onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped cucumbers (I have also used celery or water chestnuts)
1/2 cup miracle whip (or mayo, whichever you like best)
salt and pepper
herbs de provence
Torn lettuce leaves (I like butter lettuce or romaine the best)

Make the sauce by combining your miracle whip, salt, pepper and herbs de provence to taste. (I just throw it in!) Combine the chicken, grapes, nuts, onions and cucumbers in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing and allow to sit in your fridge overnight so the flavors can combine. (You don't have to do it this way, I just like to if I have time.) Serve over the lettuce leaves and enjoy!!!

Note:  If you don't have herbs de provence, I highly suggest you try some, but make sure it has lavendar in it-it is super yummy!!
