Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    12 tenders (I use save-a-lot shaner's brand frozen in the bag I thawed them first)
    1 & 1/4 cup olive oil mayonnaise (I use hellman's its 60 cal per serving)
    1.5 Tbs Red wine vinegar to get the mayo thinned up a bit and add some extra flavor
    1 Tbs of Montreal Steak Seasoning (I use Grill Mates brand)
    1 cup celery- chopped/diced however you prefer
    1 cup of grapes (measure first) cut in half or whole (again personal preference)
    1/2 cup of chopped pecans
    1/4 cup of chopped green onions

Tips

sometimes I add a little bit of sweet pickle relish for a good sweet sour flavor :) I didnt in this recipe though. You could use apples in place of grapes or raisins if you prefer. Sometimes I use red onion instead of green onion or I put a couple tbs of splenda into the mayo vinegar mix to make a more sweet sour flavor too :DTry it with different nuts as well. Pecans are my favorite but slivered almonds, pistachios and walnuts all work great as well! Sometimes I toast them in the oven or hot pan before tossing them in and sometimes I just use raw nuts! Just play around with it and make your own version! Great to serve on a salad or with bread/toast or your favorite crackers!


Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F, Spray a baking pan (9x12") with some cooking spray. Sprinkle a little of the seasoning in the bottom of the pan lay down the chicken then sprinkle the rest on top (you could use less seasoning it is pretty strong but I like it that way) cover with foil and place in oven for 30 minutes (or until completely cooked time varies) I like to cook it on a lower temp the chicken stays juicy that way and with the foil ontop. I then cut up the chicken or shred it add dry/chopped ingredients. I mix the vinegar into the mayo and then mix that into the whole mix cover and refrigerate for an hour for flavors to meld together :D
