The Famous, Infamous Costco Chicken

So every grocery store has its 'signature' roasted chicken, just waiting to become your new best friend. I'm convinced that the Costco bird is a feather or two above the flock for its size and succulence, but any freshly cooked chicken can be a treasure for a hungry last minute cook. The problem, however, is the size of the bird when you are cooking for just one or two. When just plain chicken and chicken sandwiches have lost their appeal, here is a really yummy salad, which uses ingredients you may already have. If not, pick up the missing ones when you buy your chicken.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
2 tablespoons dried diced onions
1/4 cup mayonnaise or light mayo
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup cooked chicken, cut into small bites
1 stalk celery, cut into 1/2" pieces
2 tablespoons dried onions
1/2 cup grapes, cut in half if large
2 tablespoons softened raisins (let stand in a little boiling water for several minutes and then
drain)
1/4 cup chopped pecans, zapped on high for 30 seconds

Start putting the ingredients in a bowl in the order given, mixing as you go. Serves two generously.
