My incredibly delicious chicken salad
Posted on 6/9/11 at 9:14 am

- 2 gala apples cubed
- 2 large or 3 small roasted chicken breasts cubed
- one third vidalia or red onion, coarsely chopped
- half cup of toasted almonds cut in half (toast in pan until they start to smell yummy, but don't burn them)
- one and a half cups of fresh broccoli chopped coarsely
- one third to one half cup mayo
- 4 tbsp's rice vinegar (or other white vinegar)
- one tsp's black pepper (or more... I love black pepper)
- one tsp salt (or more)
Mix the vinegar, mayo, salt, and pepper then blend into the other ingredients. Refrigerate overnight in a covered container. Great on a summer day. Don't skip the almonds.

I'm not sure if this is true but someone once told me that it's crucial to mix the mayo mix while the chicken is still hot. Allegedly this helps the flavors combine better.
Just thought I'd add that. Sounds like a good chicken salad mix you got there partner

You could add some tarragon to give it a unique flavor too. Tarragon and almonds are awesome in chicken salad.

Will try that next time.
And yes, Powerman, I mixed the salad while the chicken was hot.

My recipe is nearly the same except I add a bag of chopped fresh spinach, finely diced celery, 1/2 red and green finely chopped bell pepper, SLIVERED toasted almonds, fat free mayo and no vinegar. And you are so right, DONT skip the almonds!

Mine is more basic/simple. I could never like almonds in a chicken salad as I like the smoothness in texture.

Better if sits overnight

Slivered almonds are the way to go.
My wife likes to add craisins to her mix also.

Sounds too fancy for me. I like a basic chicken salad. Chicken, mayo, onion, little garlic, salt, pepper, bellpepper. I like a LITTLE crunch in there but I think nuts would be too much.

I like the smoothness and don't find the bell's to be THAT crunchy.

Stopped right there.
No offense Rex, but I'm just a plain, crunchless chicken and potato salad kinda guy. But if I wasn't, this would do it for me!

Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
5 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Salad
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Method
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to dress the salad. This can be prepared up to 2 days ahead.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the chicken breasts in one layer in a baking dish with 1/2 cup water. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes until completely cooked through. Remove cooked chicken breasts from pan, cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then cover and refrigerate.
When the chicken is cold, dice into bite-size chunks and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in pecans, grapes, celery and dressing.

Sometimes, I add the grapes and almonds to Calvin's chick salad.
I LOVE the Zodiac Room! Complimentary demi of chicken broth and wonderful popovers with strawberry butter....yum... my standard meal is the chicken salad plate with fruit andd poppy seed dressing,mandarin orange souffle and the little muffin. The chick salad is a little chunkier than I like, but it's good. Great lunch.

Namedropping? It's just a restaurant in a department store.

My inner beauty and non model self couldn't agree with you more. Does Victoria Secret have a Zodiac Room?

You should have asked her if she knew whether Frederick's has one.
