Chicken Salad

I make different varieties of chicken salad. The easiest takes fifteen minutes. The longest takes time for a chicken to bake and the medium involves a rotisserie chicken. The other two have a little more flavor, but canned chicken is the easiest.

Ingredients:
2 cans of chicken
Craisins
Celery
Onion
Sweet pickles
Pepper
Mayonnaise

Drain the chicken and crumble in a bowl. Pour as much of the items over as you like. Make it colorful! I use half a bag of Craisins, half an onion, some of my homemade sweet pickles, and a stalk of celery. Just use as much mayo as you need to mix it together. I store this in a closed container for up to three days. I usually make it on Sunday for Matthew to take with him on the road. One container, chips and a loaf of bread equals lunch for a week.

Party Ham Biscuits-(We Freeze for Special Occasions)

Ingredients:
1 pan miniature rolls in aluminum pan
1/2 pack shredded cheese of your choice
Less than a 1/2 stick butter
Poppy seed
Tiny bit of mustard
2 cans cooked ham

Cut the bread in half so you have a top and a bottom loaf like a sandwich. Soften the butter and add spread on bottom layer of bread. Add just a tad of mustard on top of the butter layer, and then sprinkle with poppyseed. Shred the ham with your fingers, and then layer on top of the poppyseed. Then sprinkle a generous layer of cheese on top. Place the top layer of bread on the cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes at 350.
Enjoy!
