Margie's Chicken Salad

Nothing says "beach" like Margie's Chicken Salad!

Chicken breasts, grilled and diced, I use these

Pineapple chunks, or tidbits, drained

Shredded cheddar cheese

Mayo or Miracle whip, I always use light

Amounts all depend on how much you want to make. For my family of 5 two or three chicken breasts, one can of pineapple, 3/4 a cup of cheese (more or less to your taste), and enough mayo/miracle whip to bind it all together.

The  last couple times we visited Mark and Margie at the beach, Margie has this dinner ready for us, a weary group traveling from Kansas. It's always so good after traveling all day and eating whatever we can between flights and the 3 hour drive from Raleigh. She usually serves an Asian style slaw that is a perfect accompaniment.  I hope she knows how much we always appreciate her efforts and hospitality.
