Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I always make a HUGE batch of this and keep it in the fridge to make sandwiches from quickly and easily.  With a toddler and a baby at home big batches of my favorite simple recipes is how I survive with my sanity intact most days.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Ingredients:

5 lbs Chicken Breasts (boneless skinless)
1 bunch of celery cleaned and small diced
4 TB Mayonnaise
4 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
3/4 cup water

Directions:

1. In a large pan simmer the Chicken breasts with the water and half the garlic powder.
2. When chicken is fully cooked remove from heat and medium dice. (about 1/2 inch pieces)
3. In a large bowl mix the chicken, celery, mayonnaise, and remaining garlic powder.  Add Salt and Pepper to your personal taste.  (start with a tsp of each)

If the chicken salad mixture is too wet crumble up a few crackers and mix well. The crackers will absorb the extra moisture. This is also very delicious stuffed inside a hollowed out tomato. (That tip is thanks to a certain toddler tornado that was in a no bread phase but would sneak off with whole tomatoes and hide while she ate them.)
