Gail's Chicken Salad

Serves: 4
Prep: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 small can crushed pineapple
1/2 -1 cup chopped nuts (I recommend pecans or almonds)
mayonnaise

DIRECTIONS
1. Add chicken breasts to a saucepan or pot. Cover by 2-3 inches with cold water. Turn on high until just beginning to simmer, then turn to medium. Let simmer for 10-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
2. Remove chicken and allow to cool. Then tear chicken into large pieces; add chicken to a food processor and pulse until finely shredded.
3. While chicken is cooling, open the can of pineapple and drain. Empty pineapple pieces onto a paper towel to drain more fully.
4. Combine chicken, pineapple, chopped nuts, and 1/8 cup of mayonnaise to a bowl. Combine and add more mayonnaise until desired consistency is reached.

Serve on croissant or toasted bread and add leafy lettuce and tomato if desired.
