Instructions

  • Drain and wash canned chicken.
  • Place in the bottom of a mixing bowl.
  • Drain pineapple and add to bowl with chicken.
  • Slice grapes in half, add to bowl.
  • Cut celery into small slices, add to bowl.
  • Dice onion, if using, and add to bowl.
  • If water or juice has gathered in bottom of the bowl, pour or drain before adding other ingredients.
  • Add remaining ingredients to the bowl.
  • Using a spoon, softly turn together until all ingredients are incorporated.

  • Serve on bread, rice cakes, or with crackers and vegetables.

Notes

*Note that one serving is zero points, two servings are one point (purple plan). One serving is plenty with crackers or part of a salad plate. A typical sandwich would probably be two servings. Variations that I love:

  • fajita
  • curry
  • buffalo chicken
  • traditional (aka, less fruity)
