In storage bowl ready for my husbands lunch box (he puts on bread before eating so it doesn't get soggy)
Processed lunch meat? Thing of the past! Ok, well, not completely, but we at least minimize our consumption because our family loves chicken salad. If you remember from my Crockpot Chicken post, I make a lot of chicken and have a lot on hand at all times! Here we can put it to use! 5 simple ingredients and you have a healthy filling terrific sandwich!
Grape & Chicken Salad
- 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/3 cup homemade mayo (adjust amount to suit taste if using store bought, as they are different consistencies).
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 cup red grapes, sliced in half
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Combine ingredients and enjoy! Serve on bread as a sandwich or on romaine as a lettuce wrap. I also recommend drizzling a bit of mayo on the second or third day. The chicken keeps absorbing that mayo and it can seem dry.
My mother-in-law inspired this recipe when my husband and I were first married. It has been a go to favorite of ours for years!

Hey Nikki! This chicken salad looks great! We make something similar to this but we add chopped celery and almonds also. Mmm…so yummy! I’ll have to try it with just the grapes sometime.
Sounds like nice.additions. I have added extras but this is the basic recipe for quick easy.and limited chopping! Red onions would be nice too!
I love the idea. Did you freeze the cooked chicken for use at a later time?
Yes. Check out the slow cooker chicken and broth recipe for more details.
