WHOLE MEAL CHICKEN SALAD







Ingredients:

2 to 3 cups chicken breast, cooked
1 (15 oz.) can chunk pineapple, drained
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin orange sections, drained
1/2 c. sliced pitted ripe olives
1/2 c. chopped sweet green pepper
2 tbsp. grated onion
1 c. chopped celery
1 c. mayonnaise
1 tbsp. prepared mustard
1 (5 oz.) can chow mein noodles
Chopped pecans, (optional)

Method:

Simmer (don't boil) boneless, skinless chicken breast in a little chicken broth or water for 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked and tender. Alternatively, leftover chicken may be put to good use in this dish.

In a large bowl combine chicken, pineapple, celery, oranges, olives, bell pepper, and onion. Blend mayonnaise and mustard. Toss gently with chicken. Cover and chill for several hours.

Just prior to serving, stir in chow mein noodles.

Arrange salad on a lettuce-lined salad plate.

Serve with crackers or crust bread.

This salad is a good candidate for serving in hollowed-out artisan bread rounds.
