Chicken Wheat Berry Salad

Prepare wheat berries by cooking 3/4 C. whole wheat and 1/4 tsp. salt in 1 1/2 C water, bringing it to a boil and simmering for about 1 hour until liquid is absorbed and wheat is tender/chewy.
1 12-oz can drained and shredded chicken
1/2 C. mayonnaise
1-2 tsp. parsley (can use dried)
1 small onion or green onion, minced (can use dehydrated)
1/2 C. chopped celery (or 1/8 tsp. celery seed)
1/4 tsp. lemon pepper
1/4 tsp. ground coriander seed
1 clove minced garlic (or 1/8 - 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
1/8 tsp. pepper
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well, and chill. Serve as a salad, or in a stuffed tomato, or as an appetizer with crackers or crusty bread.
This is from my niece, Emily Miller. It can be use pantry/food storage items, and is nicely seasoned. Linda Hicks
