Statement about how nice it is that it's Friday.

I know everyone else is pumped that it's Friday and once upon a time I use to be one of those people. However with my current job I work Friday nights and for the next 3 weeks I have to work all day Saturday so I can't even go out after work the night before. Oh well, it is a beautiful day out and lunch today will cheer me up. I had half a chicken breast left over from dinner the other night and decided to make:

Chicken Salad Sandwiches!

1 chicken breast
2 eggs
1/2 c. celery, chopped
1/4 c. green onions, chopped
~3/4 c. mayo or Miracle Whip
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
Lettuce
Bread

Now with this recipe you can add whatever you want to. I know some people add pineapple (which is gross), olives (even gross-er), nuts, onion, whatever tickles their fancy. The ingredients listed above are just what I happened to have on hand.

My chicken breast was raw to start out with but you can use whatever chicken you so desire. First let the chicken breast simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until cooked all the way through. Remove the chicken from the water and set on a plate to cool. Dispose of the water and refill with clean water. Add the eggs to the pot and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until hard boiled.

Once the chicken has cooled, shred into bite sized pieces. Chop the eggs and add them to the chicken. Add the remaining ingredients (except the bread and lettuce. I really hope that goes without saying.) and mix well to combine. Load your bread up with lettuce and chicken salad.

Enjoy with a lemonade or ice tea on the back porch or deck.
