I have been making this chicken salad for over 20 years. It is fabulous but I found a trick that makes it even more delicious.
First, I use split chicken breasts, bone in and with skin on. These chicken breasts will give you the most flavor. I season with salt, pepper and olive oil.

3. De-bone and remove the skin of the chicken. Side note: I roast chicken almost twice a month and use it for any number of dishes. Refrigerate it and you have any number of quick dinners.

4. So once, the chicken is cool, cut into chunks.



8. Enjoy.

I have added many different items to this basic recipe; pecans, walnuts, grapes or mandarin oranges. I have always gotten complements on it every time I served it for company.
Okay, three things.

That looks so yummy. Nobody in my house will eat chicken salad except me. Any time we are having company that I think will enjoy it, I have to make some. I like to use the roasted chickens from the store. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I might be able to do this one! Oh joy. It will make a great on-the-go-meal for baseball/softball games that take up FOUR nights a week. *sigh*
