Ingredients

  • 5 chicken breasts, halved bone-in
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • seasoning, such as Mrs. Dash
  • 1 3/4 cups diced celery
  • 2 cups halved red grapes
  • Dressing
  • 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • salt
  • pepper

Method

  • Place chicken on rack inside a 9"x13" pan. Rub breasts with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and Mrs. Dash (or similar seasoning).
  • Roast until no longer pink, about 45 minutes.
  • Cool until easy to handle. Remove skin and bones. Shred meat into bite-sized pieces. (Shredding instead of cubing allows the dressing to adhere to the chicken more easily.).
  • Meanwhile, combine dressing ingredients. Taste often to reach desired outcome.
  • Combine chicken, celery and grapes. Toss with enough dressing to coat, allowing for a little extra as the chicken will absorb some while melding in the refrigerator.
  • Best chilled overnight, but it is still great if you can't wait that long.
  • Serve alone or with rolls for sandwiches.
