TIPS

My recipe poaches boneless chicken breasts..You can also broil or bake chicken.. or even take a short cut and get rotisserie chicken at the market.

You can use your crock pot to make the chicken… instead of dicing it.. it will shred easily… cook on low for 5 hours…

Make your bacon in the oven… it’s easy and makes clean-up a snap… here’s a link for a “how-to make bacon in the oven".

I use Hellman’s mayonnaise… if you prefer another brand .. by all means use it!
