I need a chicken salad recipe for wedding reception?
Does anyone have a good recipe?
Answers:
Can you make Tuna Salad?
If so, just use canned chicken in place of Tuna.
OK, my salad is one can of Chicken (or tuna), choppe donions, chopped celery, chopped pickles (I prefer bread and butter style, but, sweet or dill work well too), Just enough mayonaise or Miracle Whip to moisten it, and a dab of mustard. Maybe like a teaspoon.
Then mix all together.
Eat on bread, or crackers, or by itself. Delicious.

Dip each strip of chicken first into egg mixture then into the flour mixture, coating each piece completely.
Fry each chicken finger for 5 minutes or until coating has darkened to brown.
Prepare salad by tossing the chopped romaine with the chopped red cabbage, Napa cabbage, and carrots.
