How To Make chicken salad

  I usually cook the eggs the same time I am cooking the chicken. To hard boil an egg: put eggs in a small pan, cover with water, put on high heat and bring to a boil, boil for 10 minutes, dump out hot water(be careful) and add cool water to pan. Peel and dice eggs.

  In a large bowl, add the cooled prepped chicken, eggs, celery, sweet pickles, stir, add salt, pepper and sugar, stir. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. When you are ready to use just moisten the chicken salad mixture with Miracle Whip and also add the grapes at this time, if you are using them. I usually serve this on cranberry bread that we get from our local bakery.
