Not Your Mama's Chicken Salad


Curried Chicken Salad
What You Need:

1 lb boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1 celery stick
1/4 c chopped walnuts
1/4 c dried cranberries
1/2 c mayo w/olive oil
Curry powder

What To Do:

Get up in the morning and make yourself a cup of coffee. Then get out your slow cooker (aka crock pot) and put the chicken in. Pour about 1/4 c water in as well, just to make sure the chicken doesn't stick & burn. Cover the chicken with a dusting of curry powder. I use quite a bit, but you can do as much or as little as you like. Turn your slow cooker on low for about 4 hours (though cooking times vary). Halfway through, flip the chicken & dust with a bit more curry powder (you CAN skip this step, though it adds more flavor). When the chicken is done, it will fall apart. So take it out and pop it into a bowl big enough to mix all the ingredients. Shred the chicken. Add the cranberries, walnuts & celery. Add the mayo & mix it up. Add enough curry powder to tint the mixture yellow. Pop it in the fridge to chill...and enjoy!

**Please note: ALL of my measurements are approximate. I don't believe in measuring when it comes to cooking...I'm not that great at math. So please just use those measurements as a starting point!
