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



Best Chicken Salad image

The secret here isn't in the seasonings (though the tarragon and sour cream make it pretty wonderful) but in the texture of the chicken, described as "plush" by the chef Barbara Tropp in her "China Moon" cookbook. She incorporated Chinese methods and flavors to her cooking, including this foolproof method for poaching chicken breasts without overcooking. It makes a chicken salad that's perfect for sandwiches (especially on dark rye or sourdough breads) or scooped onto a lettuce-lined plate with sliced radishes, tomatoes, crackers, grapes or all of the above. The chicken breasts used here must be bone-in, but you can remove the skin if you prefer. The skin and bones flavor the cooking liquid, providing a bonus of several pints of chicken stock.

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

About 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
2 scallions, cut into thirds
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 lemon, halved
2/3 cup mayonnaise, preferably Hellmann's, Best Foods or homemade
1/4 cup sour cream or crème fraîche, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard or 1 teaspoon brine from a jar of pickles, optional
2 or 3 pale green celery ribs, cut into medium (1/4-inch) dice
1/2 cup minced onion or finely sliced scallion, optional
1/2 cup walnut or pecan halves, broken into bite-size pieces
3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, parsley, or chives, plus extra for garnish
Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Choose a heavy pot or Dutch oven with a tightfitting lid. It should be large enough to hold the chicken snugly, but not much bigger. Fill pot about 2/3 full with cold water, but don't put the chicken in yet. Boil some extra water in a teakettle.
  • Add scallions and peppercorns to water, cover and bring to a rolling boil. Turn off heat and slip chicken pieces into the hot water. If needed, add boiling water from the kettle to cover chicken with water by 2 inches. Replace the lid and let chicken rest in the hot water for about 2 hours. Do not turn the flame back on: The pot will retain enough heat to cook chicken thoroughly and safely. (To test, cut into 1 piece of chicken and check the meat near the bone. If it is still pink, return the pot to low heat, bring the water to a simmer and simmer 10 minutes more.)
  • Lift chicken out of the pot. Remove and discard bones, skin and fat. Pat the meat dry with paper towels, then cut or shred into small bite-size pieces and transfer to a bowl. (Meanwhile, simmer cooking liquid until tasty, strain and refrigerate or freeze to use as chicken stock.)
  • In a bowl, whisk together juice of 1/2 lemon, mayonnaise and sour cream. If using, whisk in mustard or brine. Taste and adjust the seasonings and thickness to your liking. Pour over chicken, scraping the bowl clean with a rubber spatula.
  • Add celery, onion if using, nuts, herbs and salt and pepper. Toss gently but thoroughly. Refrigerate, covered, at least 4 hours. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with herbs before serving.

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.
