Chicken salad from heaven

As promised, I thought I’d follow up with recipes from my previous post - Making the most of what you’ve got.

We made the best chicken salad from a roast chicken that was on sale for $6. We followed the recipe from this gorgeous food blog, Bread & Honey.

1 roast chicken (the B&H blog calls for 1 breast, but we used the entire chicken)
2 large carrots (use just one if you are only using a single breast)
1 large celery stalk (I omitted this because it was missing from my fridge)
2 green onions (original recipe calls for 1/2 a yellow or white onion but I really like the green onion in it)
several large dollops of mayonnaise, enough to coat the mixture
a few squirts of brown mustard
a good splash of apple cider vinegar
salt & pepper to taste

Dice everything, shred the chicken, mix in a large bowl with condiments until everything is evenly coated.

Enjoy!

Yum! (You have a talent for picture taking!!)
Thank you for sharing these recipes. : ).

~Small unrelated tip: if anyone prints things for personal, not professional or coupons, off the computer–just use lined loose leaf paper. Save money instead of using white computer paper. The lines are not a distraction. I stock up on back2school sales in August for the kids and the printer. : )

That recipe sounds yummy - and the bread looks great too. Think I will have to try both!!

On a different note, and going back to your blog about making things for Christmas, you should check out this website: organizedchristmas.com They have great ideas for gifts, organizational tips, budgets, etc. I am making the Jiffy Pop topper for a friend. Have fun!

@cgranade Sry to hear that you're sick. I love that you turned your sinus infection into something political and worthy of a good blog post.
