Chopped Cooked Chicken, Chopped Celery, Chopped onions, Chopped Garlic, A little chopped Carrots, Ms Dash Seasoning, Parsley, Lemon Juice, Salt and Pepper, sometimes lemon pepper and a touch of Cayenne pepper if you like a little spice,,, I like to put it on rolls and serve with sliced tomato's and sometime a slice of provolone or swiss cheese....yummy :)
i use cooked chicken (whole) celery grapes apples and walnuts. cut up and mixed with miracle whip a tiny amount.
Stew the chicken, cool, skin, debone and chop it up. I like to add a coupla hard boiled eggers, chopped, some diced celery, some celery seed, some sweet pickle relish and enough mayo to hold it together.
here's my recipe
2 large cooked chicken breasts (can use dark meat too)
1/2 c celery
1 large onion
1 c mayo
2 tsp sugar
mix well and serve on croissants with lettuce!
You can poach chicken breast but generally leftover chicken is used for chicken salad. My recipe is real simple, shred chicken, add some mayonnaise, chopped onion and sometimes I add either chopped pickles or chopped olives.
I usually bake boneless chicken breast tenders until they're done. Cut it up or kind of shred it (sized to your preference). Mix with mayonnaise (to your preference)--definitely Miracle Whip. A little salt is usually good, and some pepper. I dice a couple of pickles and tomatoes and mix them in. Toast a couple slices of bread, make a sandwich. Maybe throw on some cucumber slices and cheese. That's really about it.
Boil your chicken and chop it up. Add mayo, almonds, celery, onion, garlic powder, and salt.
Boil up chicken parts or a whole chicken.
Cool, remove meat from skin & bones. Discard skin & bones. (Or buy cooked chickens from supermarket deli.)
Chop meat.
Add chopped:
celery
onions
apples
nuts: walnuts or almonds, toasted
hard boiled eggs
and mix in
mayonnaise
curry powder (optional, but delicious!)
raisins
Chill.
Use as sandwich filling or mound on lettuce leaves for an elegant luncheon dish.
You can get thin slices of bonless chicken or cut the tick ones. And then you cook it in a grilling pan and put a little spray butter or pam spray so the chicken won't get stuck to the pan, then you can add rosemary,lemon pepper, 1/4 teas of chicken powder seasoning chicken probably take less than 10 min. Then get salad and just cut it up and put whatever you want to in it, get bread or pita bread, and then put the chicken in the salad.
I use canned chicken (it's like canned tuna, it's cooked white meat) and drain the can and then mix the chicken with mayonaise and relish and salt and pepper.
I either used leftover chicken from the prior nights meal or you can boil the chicken in water, just enough to cover the chicken. I have also seared boneless chicken breasts in a pan with a small amount of olive oil. It all depends on my mood and what chicken I have to work with.
I chop the cooked chicken into small pieces, add a little garlic powder, finely chopped onion, finely chopped celery, finely chopped pecans, salt and pepper to taste and mush it all up with helman's mayo.
I always use leftover chicken or turkey.If I have to make it from fresh made chicken.I think poaching chix.breasts are the best way to go.Poaching does not dry the meat out.
I just tried this new recipe this morning and had it for lunch with deviled eggs...
