Every Shower Chicken Salad Recipes

EVERY SHOWER CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Turn on stove pot to medium/high heat.
• In a large stock pot place chicken breasts so that they all fit comfortably/loosely in the pot and fill with water until there is about an inch of water above where they sit. Add all tried herbs and 1 tablespoons salt to the water.
• Place pot on the stove.
• After bringing the liquid to a boil, reduce heat to a bare simmer so that only an occasional bubble breaks the surface. At this point, partly cover the pot, cook for about 10 minutes, then turn off the heat, leaving the chicken to finish cooking in the hot water for 10-15 more minutes.
• Remove chicken from water and place on cutting board to cool.
• In a large container mix mayo, grapes, celery, walnuts, salt and pepper (to taste).
• When chicken has cooled to the touch chop into bite sized pieces and mix in with mayo mixture.
• Taste to adjust salt content. Cover and then refrigerate overnight or until cool (the flavors get better over night, but would work for immediate use).
• Spoon onto croissants or your favorite bread.

WENDY'S FAMOUS CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Boil Chicken until fully cooked (I like to use cut up pieces of chicken on the bone. It makes the moistest chicken salad.).
• While Chicken is cooking prepare/chop Celery, Grapes (I find red seedless grapes sweeter), and Parsley.
• De-bone Chicken and remove skin and cartilage.
• Place shredded/diced chicken meat in bowl.
• In a preheated 350 oven, place Almonds in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
• Toast Almonds for approximately 10 minutes (or until slightly golden.) turning Almonds at least once in between. **Keep a close eye on these while cooking, they can over cook very rapidly!
• In a separate bowl, prepare and whip Heavy Whipping Cream until you achieve soft peaks (or according to package directions.).
• Combine Chicken, Celery, Grapes, Parsley, Salt and Mayonnaise.
• Gently fold in toasted Almonds and whipped/prepared Heavy Whipping Cream.
• Chill until ready to serve.
• Serve on large bakery sized Cresent Rolls or on a bed of lettuce or Pita Bread.
