Ingredients:

Serving

2 -3 cups cooked chicken (i use food processor, but you can also use 2 forks & shred to a consistency similar to tuna or pulle)
1/3 cup hellmann's mayonnaise
4 oz philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup pitted black olives, drained & chopped
1 (6 oz) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained & chopped
1/4 cup pinoli nuts, chopped (pine nuts)
to taste salt
to taste pepper
to taste garlic powder
1 dash oregano

Directions:

I use my mini-food processor to chop all of the ingredients except the chicken - I just give them a few pulses per ingredient so they are not pureed in the food processor.
Mix mayonnaise, and cream cheese together in bowl until creamy. Stir in chicken & remaining ingredients. Chill until ready to serve.
*Can add more or less of the mayonnaise & cream cheese mixture according to taste/texture desired.
Note: you can buy the chicken pre-cooked or make it ahead of time. I recommend using all white meat.
Also, you can substitute the pinoli nuts with chopped almond slivers if budget-conscious.
