THE BEST CHICKEN SALAD



The Best Chicken Salad image

Gently poaching chicken breasts in an aromatic broth yields tender morsels for folding into a bright and herby homemade dressing. Serve it solo on a bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes or in half an avocado. It also makes a killer chicken club sandwich topped with crisp bacon and other sandwich fixings.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup prepared or homemade mayonnaise
2 teaspoons strained freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups diced poached chicken, recipe follows
1 stalk celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons shallot, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Sliced chives, for garnish
10 sprigs parsley
2 sprigs thyme
1 small onion, halved
1 small carrot, halved
1 stalk celery, halved
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves, fat trimmed
5 to 6 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium store bought

Steps:

  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, 1 tablespoon salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
  • Toss together the chicken, celery, shallot, dill and parsley in a large bowl.
  • Add the dressing to the chicken and mix gently until combined. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight to meld flavors. Garnish with chives.
  • Put the parsley, thyme, onion, carrot, celery and chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Cover with the broth and bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low and cover. Poach the chicken until firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, uncover and cool the chicken in the liquid for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and reserve the liquid. Bone and skin the chicken and roughly chop the meat into about 1/2-inch pieces. Discard the bones and skin.
  • Strain the broth and store, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for later use. Remove any fat from the surface of the broth before using.

BEST CHICKEN SALAD - EVER!



Best Chicken Salad - Ever! image

An herb and lemony chicken salad, made with a fantastic homemade mayonnaise that takes this already yummy salad right over the top. You can whip it up long before you can run to the store for a more expensive and less tasty product. Fabulous for sandwiches, salads, etc.

Categories     Poultry

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 cups shredded cooked chicken, from rotisserie chicken
1 cup mayonnaise, homemade, recipe below
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1/4 cup scallion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh herb, parsley, basil, and thyme work well
1 lemon, zested
1 -2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (or dijon mustard)
1 pinch sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • For homemade mayonaise - in a glass bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and other ingredients (except the oil). Starting very slowly (just a drop at a time) whisk the oil into the egg yolk mixture. Once an emulsion forms you can increase the oil to a thin stream. Continue whisking in the oil until it is all incorporated. Can be refrigerated up to one week.
  • Combine chicken with enough mayonnaise to moisten (according to taste). Fold in the celery, scallions and herbs. Season with salt and lots of pepper.

BEST CHICKEN SALAD EVER



Best Chicken Salad Ever image

This recipe uses canned chicken, but if you want to use leftover chunked chicken or turkey, it 's even better. A dab of sweet relish is a nice taste surprise, and we love the apples, pecans, and raisins. The creamy salad dressing finishes it off nicely.

BEST CHICKEN SALAD EVER I



Best Chicken Salad Ever I image

This is the result of a day at home with my brother and nothing to do. We decided to create a new lunch. Serve on rolls or sandwich bread; this is especially nice if you toast the bread, or use a flavorful whole-grain bread. The chicken can be substituted with turkey, and the ingredients can be rearranged to suit differing tastes. Enjoy!

THE BEST TASTING CHICKEN SALAD EVER



The Best Tasting Chicken Salad Ever image

I am not a chicken fan salad lover. But I just love this chicken salad. It is the only chicken salad I will eat ( mine.) I make it least twice a week. I hope you love it just as much as me.

Provided by Denises

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 fresh boneless skinless chicken breast
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
2 pinches black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons real mayo mayonnaise
1 teaspoon minced celery

Steps:

  • Boil chicken in water until chicken is throughly cooked through. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from pot and let cool in container or bowl.
  • Chicken cools pretty quickly, usually about 10 minutes. When you can handle it, start shedding it, or take 2 sharp knives and cut them up. It will cool off the chicken quicker if it is cut up.
  • After it cools completely, add garlic salt, and pepper.
  • Add real mayo and celery.
  • Serve between 2 slices of your favorite bread.
  • The garlic salt is the secret ingredient to this chicken salad.
