Ingredients

1 to 1 1/2 lb baked and cooled boneless skinless chicken breasts (or the breasts from 1 whole baked chicken)
1 small red or yellow onion (or about half of a medium sized onion)
1 small or medium apple (or 1 cup red or green grapes)
3 hard boiled eggs (to make easy mayonnaise sauce)
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp celery seed
1/8-1/4 cup filtered water
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup softened butter

1
Add hard boiled eggs, softened butter, sour cream, water, apple cider vinegar, mustard, celery seed, salt, and black pepper to a high speed blender and blend until creamy, stopping to scrape the edges with a rubber spatula occasionally.
2
Dice chicken breast, onions and apple into small pieces, about 1/8 inch cubes.
3
Add chicken mixture to a large bowl with mayonnaise mixture and give it a good stir, thoroughly combining all of the ingredients until it reaches a creamy consistency.
4
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the moisture to be absorbed into the chicken pieces.
5
Garnish with sliced green onions if you like, and enjoy!
