Church Ladies Famous Chicken Salad
In my neck of the woods this chicken salad recipe has gained much fame and notoriety. The ladies at my church make it every year for our annual Women's Spring Event and those who have had it are always so excited for the treat, and those who are eating it for the first time are asking for the recipe. It's got one little ingredient that I've never seen in any other chicken salad recipe and I think it makes all the difference! And lucky for them and you, the ladies are happy to share the recipe plus it's super easy and pretty inexpensive to make, too.

Step 1
Drain the canned chicken well and place in medium bowl, use a spoon to shred it up.
Add mayo, salt, pepper, and curry powder and mix together.
Fold in the grapes, oranges, and pecans - breaking up the oranges as you mix.
Chill for a couple hours and serve on a croissant like the church ladies, or on top of a bed of lettuce, or just with some crackers along side.
Note
I think the ladies secret weapon is the mandarin oranges, I've never seen that in any other chicken salad recipes. It gives the salad just a little extra sweetness along side the grapes and people can never place just what that sweet taste is LOL
