I boil chicken and don't measure anything but this is what I add.
Mayo
Onions
Green peppers
grapes
toasted almonds
celery
salt
pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat
1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds

Place almonds in a frying pan. Toast over medium-high heat, shaking frequently. Watch carefully, as they burn easily.
In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper. Toss with chicken, almonds, and celery.

CHICKEN SALAD
1 7 oz. Creamette elbow macaroni 1 1/2 to 2 lbs chicken breast
1 small. onion, diced (red)
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 celery stalk, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 boiled eggs, chopped placed on top at the end
Hellmann's mayonnaise
Frozen peas
Cut up vegetables Cook the noodles and add the frozen peas at the last 3 minutes of the boiling noodles. Drain and rinse with cold water.
Add vegetable, mayonnaise, noodles and peas then the chicken. Using the canned chicken add the water from the can. Add at the end with the rest so it does not break up to much. You will have to add more mayonnaise as it soaks up about 1 to 2 hours later.
If using cooked chicken, add onion, celery together until done. Cool cooked chicken dice. Add salt and salad dressing or mayonnaise. Add chopped eggs. Garnish with paprika.
Optional - a pinch of Paprika on eggs, but not to much otherwise it will change the taste to much.
Optional - cherry tomatoes.
Note: you can substitute 1 large can of chicken meat for the chicken breasts.
French bread,

Monterey Jack Cheese with hot peppers
tostadas or tortilla chips
Slice the onion and cook them in a little bit of butter until they almost get caramelized. Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and added to the onions.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the garlic and red pepper. When everything is tender, season with salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Add beans (don't forget to rinse them) and corn. Sprinkle Monterey Pepper Jack Cheese on top to melt.
LEMON SELTZER DRINK
3/4 cup seltzer water
2 tsp. sugar
juice of half a lemon
Pour seltzer water into a glass, add lemon juice. Next add sugar. Be careful, sugar and seltzer react, and might overflow the cup. Serve chilled with ice.

Along with the chicken, onions, celery and mayonnaise of your average chicken salad add chopped up apricots (or other fruit), fresh herbs (parsley or coriander/cilantro) and curry powder.

cooked chicken. I throw it together like tuna salad. I prefer a whole grain bread but any will work. Saltines and Ritz crackers are good with it. I like milk or juice with mine.
