Number Of Ingredients 11

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 stalk celery
1 onion
½ teaspoon minced garlic
4 eggs
1 large red apple, diced
6 small sweet pickles, diced
1 (3 ounce) package sliced almonds
salt and pepper to taste
crushed red pepper to taste
¼ cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Over medium-high heat, bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add chicken, celery, a slice of the onion, and garlic. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour.
