Magic Layered Chicken Salad

I like to make this in the spring around Easter time.  After all, it is rabbit food of sorts.  This salad is amazing and delicious and yes, fattening.  Try it anyway, you only live once.

• 1/2 head iceberg lettuce torn into bite size pieces
• 1 chicken, deboned and torn into bite size pieces
• 1 can green peas, drained
• 1 can sliced water chestnuts, drained
• 1/2 cup celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
• 1/2 cup purple onion, chopped
• 4 boiled eggs, chopped
• 1 pint mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 12 oz cheddar cheese, shredded

Cook chicken and debone.  Mix mayo and sugar together.  Layer all ingredients in the order listed above.  Refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours so that flavors can marry (and live happily ever after).  Be sure to layer in the order above because magic really does happen and the mayo keeps the lettuce fresh and the flavors are wonderful.  Trust me!
