CHICKEN SPREAD 
3 lbs. chicken breast
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened

2 tbsp. sweet pickle juice
1 c. finely chopped celery
1/8 tsp. curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook chicken in enough salted water to cover it until the chicken is tender. Remove from the broth and Reserve The Broth; cool. Bone the chicken and grind or chop fine. Combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise beating well. Add pecans, onion, pickle juice, celery, curry powder, salt and pepper; stir until well blended. Combine chicken and cream cheese mixture; blend well. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chicken broth to desired consistency. (mixture will thicken when chilled.) Spoon spread into an 8 inch cake pan; chill. Unmold and garnish with green and ripe olives, parsley, cherry tomatoes, and a twist of lemon. Serve with crackers. Yield about 4 cups.
