Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 cups store-bought crispy chicken strips, (sliced (Note 1))
8 cups (~2 hearts) chopped romaine ((chopped into bite-sized pieces))
1 cup cherry tomatoes, (halved)
1 cup Persian or English cucumber, (thinly sliced (Note 2))
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion ((Note 3))
1 large (or 2 medium) ripe avocados, (thinly sliced or chopped)
Optional: 1/3 cup honey-roasted or plain toasted almonds ((Note 4))
2 tablespoons of EACH good-quality BBQ sauce and honey
1/4 cup regular full-fat mayo
1 tablespoon of EACH Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar
Fine sea salt and freshly cracked pepper

Steps:

CHICKEN: Start by preparing chicken tenders according to package directions. Let cool to warm and then thinly slice.
SALAD: Chop the romaine, wash, and make sure it is thoroughly dried before adding to a large bowl (dressing won't adhere to wet lettuce). Add halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers, sliced red onions, and sliced avocado to the bowl or place on individual plates. Add the sliced chicken on top. Drizzle with the dressing (see next step to prepare), toss to combine, and serve immediately.
DRESSING: Whisk the ingredients for the dressing, along with a big pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk until smooth. If not using immediately, transfer to a mason jar and refrigerate. (Leftovers stay good for 5-7 days).
STORAGE: Dressed salad doesn't sit well, so if you want to have leftovers or make ahead, store the dressing separately from the salad.

HOT CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

Hot Chicken Salad Recipe image

Hot, hot, hot! Southern-favorite chicken salad gets a baked twist in this delicious new recipe. Our hot chicken salad takes the classic combination of chicken, mayo, and celery and adds a tasty explosion of flavors. Pour in measures of pimientos, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and potato chips; combine it all; and send it into an oven preheated to 350. There it will begin to bubble as it combines into a savory dip-style casserole. In this recipe, it's not just the flavors that are new. This hot chicken salad also adds a craveable dose of texture and crunch thanks to the additions of water chestnuts, slivered almonds, and crisp potato chips. Yum and yum. It's not all crunch, though. This recipe also brings to the table the classic chicken-salad creaminess we've come to know and love-that's thanks to the cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream, plus a good pour of fresh lemon juice for a tart touch. We love it. Add this one to your recipe box, stat.

CRUNCHY HOT CHICKEN SALAD

Crunchy Hot Chicken Salad image

I've had this recipe for years and I'm not sure were it came from. I think it was clipped from a magazine years ago. It's slightly different from most other hot chicken salad recipes and I think those differences make it better.

HOT CHICKEN SALAD

Hot Chicken Salad image

This quintessential American casserole epitomizes timeless comfort food. The "hot" in this chicken salad refers to temperature, not spice. This casserole takes the components of a classic chicken salad, tops it off with crunchy classic potato chips and bakes in the oven until warmed through. While the filling and toppings vary by region and recipe, the main ingredients, like the version here, include cooked chicken, celery, mayonnaise, grated cheese and slivered almonds. You can poach your own chicken or save time and use a cut up rotisserie or poached chicken. Hot chicken salad does precisely what is asked of a casserole: to soothe, lift up and spread joy.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 pounds cooked chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces
5 large celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch slices at an angle
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar (3 ounces)
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon onion salt
Salt and black pepper
4 cups potato chips (classic or ruffled), lightly crushed, plus more as needed

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack positioned in the center.
Place the chicken, celery, mayonnaise, Cheddar, almonds, lemon juice and onion salt in a large bowl and mix to combine well. Taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper as needed. The amount will depend on how seasoned your chicken is.
Transfer the chicken mixture to a 3-quart (9-by-13-inch) shallow baking dish. Spread it out evenly and top with the crushed potato chips. Add more chips if needed to cover the top.
Bake uncovered until the chips are golden brown and the mixture is warmed through and bubbling lightly at the bottom, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
