Healthy chicken salad!

I decided to try this recipe when our marriage class at church had a "picnic" theme for our potluck dinner and I was determined to find a HEALTHY chicken salad. When I think picnic, I think chicken salad for whatever reason. I found a Weight Watchers recipe and modified it by adding extra things that sounded yummy to us and changing some of the measurements! It came out delicious! I also took the leftovers to work in a whole wheat tortilla for lunch today <3 

What you need
  • 1lb chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup diced dill pickles
  • 1/2 cup celery
  • 1/2 cup reduced fat mayo
  • 2 tablespoons reduced fat sour cream
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 handful of walnuts
  • 1/2 cup chopped red grapes
  • Salt & pepper to taste
How to make it

1) Boil chicken until there's no pink inside. Drain water and set chicken aside to cool. Cut into small cubes. 
2) Pour chicken into a bowl and add pickles, celery, mayo, sour cream, mustard, lemon juice, walnuts, grapes, and salt & pepper to taste. Mix well and store in refrigerator until just before serving. This is delicious with crackers or a whole wheat tortilla!
