Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped (preferably purple onions)
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup yellow (or green) bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (Hot Mexican)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 1 cup mayonnaise

Instructions
 

  • Pull the meat off the cooked chicken while it’s still warm from the store. Then cube into 1 inch chunks and dump into a large bowl.
  • Add onions, tomatoes, celery, yellow bell peppers, and red bell peppers, but do not mix.
  • Add mayonnaise – still no mixing.
  • Add garlic powder, chili powder, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne powder. Time to mix it all together.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings or other ingredients as desired.
  • Serve on toasted roll while still warm.
  • Chill the rest of the chicken salad for two hours if you can wait to serve it as part of a salad platter.
  • The recipe gets spicier overnight, so keep that in mind if you are making it the day before an event.
