Chicken Salad Recipes?

Question

What are some REALLY good chicken salad recipes?

Answer 1

This is awesome. Cut up some leftover chicken into very small pieces (or cook a chicken breast or two in the oven- or even boil it) Add some salt and pepper. Then moisten chicken with store bought Italiain dressing. Wishbone is good. You may want to add a little celery and/or onion. Then let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for a little while. Add mayonaisse to taste. All ingredients should be adjusted to taste, but the Italian dressing really really makes this.

Answer 3

If you want it to be really good, then you cannot used canned chicken. The best I've ever made was from the meat of a rotisserie chicken--one of the precooked ones at Costco, Sam's Club, or the grocery store. Chop the meat with the skin in a food processor. Then, just add enough mayo (not salad dressing/Miracle Whip) for your taste, and some chopped boiled eggs. I also love gourmet black olives (from an olive bar at the deil) in my chicken salad. Onions and celery are good too. This is not the healthiest of recipes, but you did ask for a great tasting one. lol

By the way, don't you just "love" those ******* who say "go to allrecipes.com" or who just give you links to some recipe sites?
