Chicken salad recipe.....?

Question

anyone have any good chicken salad recipes to share?

Answer 1

I LOVE CHICKEN SALAD...In all honesty, I don't measure anything...just eyeball it...I add some mayo, a little mustard, I love some crunch in mine...I usually add a few cashews, definitely celery, and a little sweetness with some chopped apples....The secret ingredient that makes it so good is some yellow curry powder...whenever I make it, people ask me "what's in this?" or What's the recipe?"
Of course salt and pepper to taste...Sometimes instead of curry I add dill which is oh so good too.
Oh I might have to have some for lunch! :)

Chicken Salad

Prep: 30 min., Cook: 40 min., Stand: 15 min., Chill: 4 hrs. Shred rather than chop the chicken. The tines of two forks make shredding a snap.

3 pounds skinned and boned chicken breasts
1 (49 1/2-ounce) can chicken broth
1 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped water chestnuts, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
3 cups mayonnaise
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Place chicken breasts in a large skillet; add chicken broth. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer, covered, 30 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken from skillet, and let stand 15 minutes or until cool to touch. Shred chicken.
Combine shredded chicken, celery, water chestnuts, and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl.

Stir together mayonnaise, ground red pepper, salt, and white pepper until well blended; spoon over shredded chicken mixture, stirring to coat. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.

Shrimp Salad: Substitute 3 pounds chopped cooked shrimp for chicken breasts and broth. Do not cook. Reduce mayonnaise to 2 cups and salt to 1/4 teaspoon. Proceed with recipe as directed.

Yield: Makes about 8 (1-cup) servings (serving size: 1 cup)

I make chicken salad for a restaurant where i work and always get compliments.This will make enough for a get together or cookout.

3lbs cooked chicken smoked bone in or..can be grilled
2 green bell peppers
2 whole red onions
1 1/2 cups Hidden valley ranch dressing..homemade or 1 large bottle
1/4 cup vinegar(apple cider)
a large bowl

pull the chicken from the bone and dice it.you can make it chunky or you can run it through a food processor to make it smoother.
the onions and green peppers take and put them in a food processor make them diced thin..but not too thin.

mix the chicken green peppers, and the onion together in the bowl.add the vinegar to the mix...and mix well.
then add the ranch dressing to your mix...use gloves and dig your hands down in it ..don't use a spoon..or it won't get all in there good.you may want to add more or less dressing depending on how wet you like it.Keep mixing till all the stuff is all mixed together.
add alittle salt and pepper to taste.
Let chill for 30 minutes...and your done..you will be the life of the party.

Answer 9

here's my grandmothers: you boil the chicken breast in salted water. when it is boiled, you put it in the blender (at manual speed) until you get the texture you want. then you add mayo, a little bit of mustard, salt, pepper, a can of veggies (i like carrots, peas and potatoes) and you can also add some finely chopped celery and olives. then you stick it in the fridge so it is really cool when you eat it. it tastes GREAT.
