Chicken Salad

As a queen of leftovers, I made this chicken salad out of the leftover beer can chicken.

2 to 3 cups leftover cooked chicken
2 ribs celery
1 cup grapes
1/4 cup toasted pecans
1 cup helmans mayo
salt and pepper
1/2 tsp tarragon

You can use any cooked chicken, but it is really good with leftover grilled or beer can chicken.  Cut up your chicken into bite size cubes and toss into a big bowl.  Chop celery and cut the grapes in half and add to chicken. Toast the pecans in a pan on the stove top until you can smell them, being careful not to burn them, and add to the chicken mixture.

I always use Helmans Mayo for my salads. Start by adding a big spoonful into the chicken mixture and add salt, pepper, and the tarragon.  Keep adding mayo until you get to the consistency you like.

I like to eat this with lettuce or crackers, like wheat thins, but it is great in a sandwich with bread too.
