Chicken Salad

Made up this great chicken salad recipe. Its great in a sandwich or eaten with a fork.

rotisserie-cooked chicken from you local grocer
dried apricots
dried cranberries
walnuts
celery
mayo
honey
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper

Shred the rotisserie chicken being sure to remove all the skin, bones and connective tissue. Put the shredded chicken in a large bowl. Roughly chop the apricots, cranberries, walnuts and celery and add to chicken. In a small bowl mix 1/4 cup each of mayo and honey together. Drizzle in some olive oil until it reaches the consistency that will coat the whole chicken mixture. Salt and pepper to taste. For best results refrigerate overnight.

Don't get crazy with the apricots, cranberries, walnuts and celery. As it sits together the flavor of these components will permeate the whole mixture so you don't want it to get overpowered by one of these ingredients. So just about a handful of each. Fine! 1/4 cup of each.

If you think its not "salad-y" enough, you can add more mayo.
