Ingredients

6 servings

•

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
•

1 egg
•

0.25 teaspoon dry mustard
•

0.5 teaspoon salt
•

2 teaspoons hot water

•

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
•

1 cup olive oil
•

2 cups halved seedless red grapes
•

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
•

1 cup coarsely crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chicken and simmer until cooked through, approximately 10 minutes. Drain, cool and cut into cubes.
While boiling chicken, make the mayonnaise: Using a blender or hand-held electric mixer, beat the egg, mustard, salt, water and vinegar until light and frothy. Add the oil a tablespoon at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Once mixture begins to thicken, you can add oil more quickly. Continue until mixture reaches the consistency of creamy mayonnaise. NOTE: The more oil you add, the thicker it gets; you may not need the full cup of oil.
In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, grapes, pecans, blue cheese and 1 cup of the mayonnaise. Stir until evenly coated, adding more mayonnaise if necessary. Refrigerate until serving.
