Chicken Salad

about 3-4 breasts of chicken thawed and cut in half


(any seasonings you like to season chicken) I prefer freshly cracked black pepper, seasoned salt, Pampered Chef's Lemon Basil Rub, some rosemary, garlic powder, and Tony Chesere's creole seasoning( a smidgen)

1 pkg of sunflower seeds

1 pkg of dried cranberries

about a tbs celery seed or more

about 1/2 lb of white grapes sliced in half depending on size

about 1-2 cups of mayo

about 1-2 tbs of spicy brown mustard

Olive oil to spread on baking pan ( I use a Pampered Chef small rectangle stoneware bar pan)

Preheat oven to 350 dgrees, sometimes I do 375 depending on how much time I have. Make sure you get all of seasonings on both sides of chicken breasts and place in oven for about 30-35 minutes until you see white all through chicken.

While chicken is baking, go ahead and and add in a large mixing bowl the mayo and mustard. Slice the grapes and add in bowl along with the celery seed, sunflower seeds, and cranberries. I don't measure how much of each pkg added. I just dump what looks like a good amount. When chickenis finished let sit and cool about 5-10 minutes. Then cut into small cubes or pieces and add to bowl with other ingredients and mix well! After I make it I can never keep my fingers away! But it tastes better after it has set over night!
