Tart and Tangy Chicken Salad

So we do a lot of stuff in the crockpot, what can I say I am a BUSY woman. My whole family loves this meal, and my daughter and oldest son love how they can manage to pitch in and really prepare a meal that the whole family loves!

I commonly will purchase the packaged chicken breasts at Sam's, if you poke through the packages they will probably range from about $11 to around $16. Anyway, I used to repackage them into smaller packages, but since we primarily eat chicken and our weeks are so jam-packed, I have begun doing things a little differently these days. Now after I have set up two meals worth of chicken I pop the rest of it in th crockpot, add water and salt (it's best if you actually let it sit in a tiny bit of seasalt and water for 30 minutes before even turning it on. Then, let it slow cook about 5 hours (or until done). This meat is perfect for chopping up or tearing apart to make chicken salad.

How I prepare this for my family of 6:

  • 2-1/2 chicken breasts (torn to bite size pieces).
  • 1 whole dill pickle diced.
  • 2 stalks of celery cut small (or sometimes we just stuff these).
  • 1 diced Granny Smith apple.
  • GF Mayo from Sams Club until your preferred consistency (about $6, of course it's HUGE).
We usually serve this as a dip using one of the components or GF potato chips we get from Sams.

Our children love this meal, and it definitely satisfies their taste buds! I like to add a lot of black pepper and cayenne to mine, mmmmmmmmmmm Spicy!
