Elegant Brunch Chicken Salad recipe

6 servings

Ingredients:

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1 egg

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons hot water

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1 cup olive oil

2 cups halved seedless red grapes

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

1 cup coarsely crumbled blue cheese

Instructions:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Add the chicken and simmer until cooked through, approximately 10 minutes.

Drain, cool and cut into cubes.

While boiling chicken, make the mayonnaise: Using a blender or hand-held electric mixer, beat the egg, mustard, salt, water and vinegar until light and frothy.

Add the oil a tablespoon at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.

Once mixture begins to thicken, you can add oil more quickly.

Continue until mixture reaches the consistency of creamy mayonnaise.

NOTE: The more oil you add, the thicker it gets; you may not need the full cup of oil.

In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, grapes, pecans, blue cheese and 1 cup of the mayonnaise.

Stir until evenly coated, adding more mayonnaise if necessary.

Refrigerate until serving.
