Servings: 4 people
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups  Chopped cooked chicken
  • 1 Cup Red seedless grapes cut in half
  • 1/2 Small Diced red onion
  • 2 stalks Celery, diced
  • 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 T Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch oven or large pot for cooking the chicken
  • 2 Cutting boards
  • 3 Knives for cutting the vegetables, the grapes and the chicken.
  • 1 Large serving bowl
  • 1 small mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Place 3 cups of white meat chicken in a dutch oven or large pots and cover with water. After the water starts to boil, reduce the heat and continue cooking the chicken until it is cooked through. (We also often use leftover rotisserie chicken which saves cooking time.)
    In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper.
    In the large bowl, mix together the cooked chopped chicken, grapes, celery, and chopped onion.
    Add the mayonnaise mixture to the main ingredients and serve with croissants or keto bread if you're cutting back on carbs.

Serving Bowls

And finally, you have to serve your sandwiches with finesse.   I recommend the following set of porcelain or any similar pretty plated you have at home. 

Spode Home Floral Breeze Porcelain Dinnerware Set

Make your at-home writing day extra special with the Spode Home Porcelain 16-Piece Dinnerware Set. This stunning set would make an exquisite addition to your lunch table so why not make the entire day a special occasion.  The watercolor floral pattern in hues of blue and pink is a favorite of mine.  It’s high-quality porcelain but not so pretentious that you can’t use it for a casual lunch.  The set includes four items each 10.5″ dinner plates, 7.5″ salad plates, 6″ cereal bowls, and 12-ounce mugs – enough to serve four of your closest family members or friends.  So whether you’re simply enjoying a meal for two at home or hosting a dinner party, you can be sure that dinners served on this beautiful porcelain will create memories that last a lifetime.
