  1. Bake chicken breasts for about 1 hour. I sprinkle with garlic salt, onion salt, seasoning salt, and pepper before cooking. (I used my pressure cooker which cut that time down to about 15 minutes.)
  2. Place cooked chicken in food process and pulse a few times. Set chicken aside.
  3. Put celery and onion into food process and chop those up into desired consistency.
  4. Combine chicken, celery/onion, sugar, mayo, salt, pepper, and paprika. This is also where you'd stir in the Craisins if you choose to use.
