I love this chicken salad.

I love Calvin's and for chicken salad on sandwiches or with fritos or on crackers, that's the one I want or I make something similar in texture. For an entree chicken salad, I make the Neiman Marcus/Helen Corbitt chicken salad.

Calvin's recipe

The smooth texture of Calvin's chicken salad is the best on a sandwich made with Evangeline Maid bread.. and Calvin's sells Evangeline Maid, the only place I've seen it in BR.

Pouparts, Lafayette. Very smooth, like pate

Rouse's

I'm a sucker for Rouse's chicken salas

I debone 1/2 a rotisserie chicken and dice it, 6 boiled eggs (seperate the whites and yolk), 1 cup mayo, brown mustard, yellow mustard, celery salt, black pepper, sometimes a little dill relish.

Into a large mixing bowl a put my mayo, salt and pepper. Whip the lumps out the mayo, add my egg yolks and mustard and whip that till smooth. Add the chicken, diced egg whites and if you want a little dill relish. Serve that over some saltines or on a slice of white bread.



ETA; Thats also how I do Tuna Salad and Ham Salad and Potato Salad and Egg Salad. I keep it basic, some people add apples and celery.

I find rotisserie chicken to be too dry a lot of the time to make a really smooth chicken salad like Calvin's has. Rotisserie is good for chunky chicken salad, though. I like to put chicken breasts in a pressure cooker and then shred them with a hand mixer or kitchenaid mixer. The chicken is completely shredded and allows for a really smooth chicken salad.
