Give me a chicken salad recipe

[Ohiodislover]

I need a simple recipe. No fruit, and no ethnic recipes w/ curry etc.

Stupid me signed up to take chicken salad to a carry in tomorrow. I need a generic recipe. I know several people who will be there don't like fruit in the chicken salad. I've looked online but all I can find so far are recipes w/ curry, grapes, cranberries, etc.

TIA

I cook a couple chicken breasts, let them cool, shred them, add some mayo (Miracle Whip), cut up some celery and add a teaspoon or so of dried mustard. It gives the chicken salad a little kick but not bad-just makes it so it isn't so bland.

You can use a can or two of chicken too-like cans of tuna.

I like to serve my chicken salad on croissants but those would get expensive for a lot of people.

My 19 year old DD has been making a delicious chicken salad recipe that is really simple and easy. You simply take a rotissere chicken and shred it, and then add some chopped celery, onion, mayo, season salt, salt and pepper to taste, and lastly, a small amount of sour cream. Add one heaping tablespoon of sugar, and that's it. This is the best chicken salad recipe I've ever used, and it tastes delicious.

What are salad cubes

 

[Kim&Chris]

I boil chicken, let it cool, then add Hellman's Light Mayo, salt, celery (or celery seeds), a pinch of dried mustard, and sweet relish.

Ours has dried cranberries which you could leave out.

We do chicken, mayo, fresh tarragon, salt, pepper and chopped celery.

Salad cubes are sweet pickles, cubed up. I think they are used a lot down here in the south!

That's my mom's basic recipe, but she puts her chicken and celery through and old fashioned meat grinder. You can get the same consistency in a food processor. OMG! You'll never eat chicken salad any other way. It has the consistency of pate. Sooo delicious.

Using a mini chopper (or food processor)

3-4 chicken breasts
5-6 baby carrots
1/2 cucumber
1/4 EACH green, red, yellow pepper
1 stalk celery
1/4 small onion

Mayo or miracle whip to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
squeeze of one lemon


Chop all ingredients in mini chopper or food processor
EMpty into large bowl and stir in mayo, salt, pepper and squeeze the juice of one lemon (optional)

Refrigerate for an hour or two to "blend" the flavors...Serve on buns, pita bread, etc..

I got this from Pampered Chef years ago...When I make it I never have any left. Its easier than it looks, takes 5-10 minutes to put together.

ON the vegetables, you can add or subtract whatever you like ...the measurements are not CUPS, they are portions of the veggie, (not 1/4 cup of cucumber...a quarter of a cucumber..etc...hope this makes sense..lol)

I use leftover chicken, mayo, celery if I have it (a little celery salt if I don't), chopped walnuts, and a little bit of whipped cream or Cool Whip.

That touch of sweetness makes all the difference, especially as you aren't including fruit.

I got this one several years ago from another site and love it!

Catt’s Chicken Salad

4-6 chicken breasts
1 rib of celery, diced fine
olive oil
Mrs. Dash
White Pepper
Salt
Parsley, either fresh or dried (remember, dried is stronger so you'll need less)
Mayonnaise to taste

First stew the chicken breasts - rinse chicken, place in heavy pan and cover with cold water. If you are using bone in, stew for 45 minutes to an hour - if you are using boneless, stew 20 minutes. Let cool in the stock/water. When it is cool, remove chicken and chop into bite sized chunks. In a Tupperware dish or a ziplock bag, place chicken, a few teaspoons of olive oil, a tablespoon of Mrs. Dash, 1/2 a teaspoon of white pepper, a tablespoon of fresh parsley or a teaspoon of dried, and a 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Then toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight. Take the chicken chunks; add your celery (I use only the white part - it looks nice and tastes milder). Then add a dash more of white pepper and kosher salt to taste, and enough mayonnaise to make it hold together. Mix well, and chill for an hour.

Thanks ugadog99 for explaining it. Salad cubes is use a lot in the South.

 

[TiggerStac]

I either marinade chicken in italian dressing and/of cook it in it. I grill, bake or cook on stove... whatever you prefer. I chop up an onion, add some salt/pepper.

I use pampered chef chopper or food processor to cut up chicken. Mix all up w/mayo to consistancy I like.

Nice and simple.....

 

[stsomewhere]

I just bought some from sam's. They make it fresh from the rotisseri chickens.

Almond Chicken Salad

2 boneless skinless breasts, boiled, cooled and shredded
1/2 small onion, diced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup sliced salted almonds
mayo to moisten and bind all ingredients- about 1/4 cup, more if it needs it.

Mix all ingredients together. Serve on toasted bread with melted cheese- either Provolone or Swiss is really good.
