Classic Chicken And Grape Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, poached and cooled to room temperature
5 ribs celery
1 1/2 c. seedless green grapes, cut in half
1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder (fresh garlic is overpowering)
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 c. or as needed Hellmann's mayonnaise

Preparation

Cut the chicken breasts in 3/4 to 1-inch chunks. Toss the chicken, celery and grapes together in a large bowl. Season with thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bind the salad with the mayonnaise.
You want to use a lot of mayonnaise to make the salad very moist and creamy.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
