This was my lunch today ....I love to make this super chunky Chicken salad and I make a large tub of it and keep it in a lock 'n' lock container in the fridge ..ready to put on a sandwich or a healthy salad ..good also eaten with some lovely wheat crackers ....very easy to make ..
I make it after breakfast ..having cooked the chicken the night before ...using a cast iron skillet...a small sprinkle of olive oil..brown on each side for about 6 minutes in total then cover loosely with foil and place skillet in a PREHEATED oven at 400ºf (200ºc Gas Mark 6) for 25 minutes .remove ..cool and cut in to chunky pieces 
Then add other ingredients the next morning and have it chilled ready for lunch

Hope you enjoy it 

And that it becomes one of your favorite recipes 

You can leave out the nuts if there is someone in the family that doesn't like nuts 

It's most delicious 

I made it for our daughter's Bridal Shower 

It was a great hit 

I put it inside Vol au Vent pastry cases 

Available in the freezer at your local grocery store
