poultry essentials: easy peasy chicken salad
This is not your regular chicken salad with all the usual suspects, this one is primarily chicken, and a few items to bring it together. The hot sauce, and the Dijon mustard give it just enough of a kick to place it on the savory side of the fence, and if you have the chicken cooked, it can be ready to eat in 10 quick minutes. Now, can you add celery, onions and all those other "chicken salad" ingredients... of course you can. But, I'm currently in a minimalist phase, and sometimes less is more. So, you ready… let’s get into the kitchen.
