Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 can(s) 12 1/2 oz. chunky white meat chicken breast, drained
5 medium gherkin pickles, chopped
1/2 medium onion, grated
1/4 c dijon mustard
1 c mayonnaise, or less if desired
4 large eggs, room temperature, (boiled & chopped)
1/2 tsp coarse grated black pepper
1 medium lemon, quartered
lettuce leaves (optional)
1 Tbsp chopped green onion tops, optional
assorted crackers or bread of your choice

Steps:

1. Boil eggs then remove from heat. Let cool, then peel and chop and add to a medium size bowl. Note: I find that if eggs are allowed to come to room temperature before you boil them they are much easier to peel.
2. Chop gherkin pickles and add to same bowl. Grate onion half into bowl as well. More if you prefer. Add DiJon mustard. Note: Grating onion instead of chopping allows you to have the flavor of onions without the big chunky pieces.
3. Add mayonnaise.
4. Drain chicken, and add to bowl.
5. Mix all the ingredients together.Line platter with lettuce leaves, and lemon wedges.
6. Add chicken salad & top with chopped green onions if desired. Add assorted crackers. I like to add fresh squeezed lemon juice on mine.
7. Add your favorite garnish items, sliced Flat Pickles, Red Onions, Fresh Tomato Slices & Lettuce leaves.
8. Serve on your favorite toasted sliced buns with tomato slices, flat pickles, & sliced red onions.
