My boys are on Spring break (finally!). This is my favorite Spring recipe...I am making it for my mom and sister this week...
What you need to make Think Spring Chicken Salad:
Celery and onions-chopped up...
A Roast Chicken...
...chopped up.
(In case you are wondering~I do not have man hands-those are Tin Man's...)
You also need some Mayo-NOT, I repeat NOT- Miracle Whip-that could make you vomit...sorry-I am NOT a fan of Miracle Whip...
Hopefully you are still paying attention~because I have a super-secret ingredient that my MOM has passed down to me and Tin Man. This ingredient is what makes everyone LOVE our chicken salad...I am serious-everyone adores it...I really shouldn't be telling you-
but you are my nearest, and dearest friends...
You need Ground Cinnamon. I know, that is so weird, isn't it?
But it is soooo good. You just add a few shakes-or like us-a tablespoon or so~

Served on a croissant. Yum!
Things to add but are optional: seedless grapes, pecans or almonds, and pineapple.
(Hope you enjoy our Chicken Salad-Tin Man said to thank him~but I TOLD him to make it and I took the pictures, so really, you can thank me!)
(Don't forget the cinnamon! One of our friends loved this, but forgot which dish we added the cinnamon to, so she added it to her Chili...it was interesting, for sure!!!)

We all LOVE Chicken Salad around here! I've never heard of adding cinnamon to it, but, hey, I'm up for trying just about anything...with the exception of liver, of course! LOL!
Hope you have a fun Spring Break with your boys! Enjoy every moment!
Oh, and I love your new family photo, by the way! :)
That sandwich looked yummy!
I have never thought of adding cinnamon to my chicken salad!
That sounds so yummy, especially on a coissant!
I think that I will whip some of this up for lunch today.
Cinnamon huh? I will let you know how this goes over with my hubby!

Yummy chicken salad.
Cinnamon? Really? I am going to trust you and try it...or maybe just come on over. I am sure it tastes better when someone else makes it, right?

You are so right--Miracle Whip is so gross! It's a MIRACLE that some people like it...

Chicken and cinnamon are actually pretty common in most countries... Morocco, India, Mexico....
So good! You are international!

This looks so delish. I love me some chicken salad! I agree Miracle Whip I am not a fan of....
