Categories     Salad

Time 9h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (2 1/2 pound) fryer chicken or equivalent pieces
½ cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
¼ cup raisins
1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium. Allow the chicken to simmer until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Remove the chicken to a cutting board. Use a pair of forks to remove and shred the meat from the chicken. Discard the remains. Place shredded chicken in a single layer on a plate and allow to cool completely in refrigerator, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir together the salad dressing and sugar in a large bowl. Stir the chicken and raisins into the salad dressing. Add the mango and gently fold into the mixture. Refrigerate overnight or 8 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh fruit, you can use thawed frozen fruit or canned fruit in syrup, but be sure to drain the syrup before using.
  • To make the dressing, you can use any type of vinegar you like. White vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and rice vinegar are all good choices.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • If you are using a rotisserie chicken, be sure to remove the skin before adding it to the salad.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as chopped nuts, crumbled cheese, or cooked bacon.

Conclusion:

This fruited chicken tossed salad is a delicious and refreshing meal that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The salad is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
