Chicken Salad with Radishes

So I had it planned that I was going to make chicken salad with the celery in the fridge.  After putting the chicken into the food processor and adding the mayo into it, I went to the fridge to get the celery. Big disappointment because my celery was dead! I sometimes just make the chicken without the vegetable but since I had radishes I decided to add it in.  If you want the fresh crunch, I suggest add the radish right before you serve because it looses some of its crunch if you add it in and serve later. It is tasty and I love the pop of color from the radish.


Ingredients

• 2 chicken breast
• 3 radishes, diced
• 1/2 cup mayo
• a pinch of cayenne
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the chicken in oil and cook until the juices runs clear.
3. When the chicken cool, dice the chicken into small pieces. Or you can put it into the food processor until the consistency you like.
4. If the dripping on the pan is too watery, keep it on the heat until the dripping is can coat the back of the spoon evenly. If you add watery dripping to the mayo, the mayo will become too watery.
5. After adding the dripping to the mayo, add paprika, cayenne, a dash of salt and  pepper to the mayo and mix.
6. Add mayo mix to the chicken and mix. Then add radishes into the chicken and mix.
