Chicken Salad

This is another recipe I found at Penzey's.  It reminds me of the delicious chicken salad that you can get at Egg Harbor Restaurant.  You can either buy a rotisserie chicken at the store or make your own.  I have a crockpot rotisserie chicken recipe I need to add here too.

3 C. cooked, cubed chicken
1/2 C. sharp cheddar cheese
1/4-1/2 C. prepared creamy salad dressing
1/3 C. dill pickles
3 tbsp. capers
3 tbsp. spicy coarse brown mustard
1/2-1 tsp. pepper to taste
1/4-1/2 tsp. salt to taste
1/4-1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tbsp. dill pickle juice

In a bowl, combine the chicken and cheese.  Add some of the dressing to moisten the mixture; it should be on the dry side.  Add the pickles and capers and mix well.  Add the mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar and mix well.  Add the pickle juice to loosen the mixture.  Add additional salad dressing until desired consistency is reached.  Chill before serving.  This is delicious on hearty whole wheat bread.
