Good Sunday morning and Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there! I first want to announce the very lucky winner of the Arabella June monogram giveaway!

Congratulations goes to-

To all the moms out there- I am wishing you the best day, our job is certainly the hardest and most rewarding job there is. A mothers love is ever ending. It is the most tender, unconditional love there is.  I am looking forward to a day of relaxation, pickle ball and then we are all going into the city to a wonderful restaurant. Should be a lovely day and looking forward to seeing Phillip as part of my day, the cherry on top!

Hope you are surrounded by a lot of love today. This is always a bittersweet day for me, I am so incredibly grateful to have had my beautiful mom here on this earth for 84 years. She taught me everything I know and I do my best every single day to honor the life she lived. Love you Mom and think about you daily. Onward to my post today….

4 MY FAVORITE CHICKEN SALAD EVER! I have shared this a few times but it warrants resharing. SO SO good. Many who have tried it swear its the best chicken salad they have eaten. The dill and lemon add extra kick. I make sure the chicken is really finely shredded. It is absolutely divine, and once refrigerated even tastier the next day! Beautiful for a luncheon on a bed of lettuce, I also love it on a wrap or sour dough.

Funny a friend of mine who loves it by the way, said why are you sharing your secret recipe? I said, life is too short. I mean it’s a chicken salad not a nuclear code:)

Best ever chicken salad

• 3 – 4 lbs of chicken parts (bone-in, skin-on thighs and breasts work well) (you’ll need about 3 to 4 cups of cooked chicken) I cut mine super small I use chicken boneless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons quality olive oil
• 1 cup of seedless grapes, sliced in half (red and green varieties are great)
• 1 cup almonds, thinly sliced (optional) This is a must add, gives great texture
• 2 celery ribs, chopped thinly
• 3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped ( I about doubled this as I love dill and it adds a lot to this)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup mayonnaise (I USE 1/2 cup and 1/2 greek plain yogurt)
• Juice of 1 lemon or more
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt (start with ½ teaspoon, then add more, to taste)
• Freshly ground pepper

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
2. Rub oil all over the chicken pieces and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes (internal temp should reach 165 F). .
4. Remove the chicken, let cool, then pull the meat from the bones and roughly chop.
5. In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, grapes, almonds, celery, scallions, dill & parsley
6. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon, mustard, salt and pepper.
7. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the chicken mixture, and gently stir until will mixed.
8. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
9. Serve on a bed of green leaves with sliced tomatoes and avocado. Or, serve on bread with green leaf lettuce. Add more toppings to your taste!
