GOURMET CHICKEN SALAD
This isn't your typical chicken salad. The sweetness of the seedless grapes, the lightness of the whipping cream, the crunch of the nuts and the dried fruit make a perfect complement to this chicken salad. It's just like chicken salad you would expect to find at a fancy restaurant, but it's super easy to make. I like to eat this with crackers as much as I like eating it as a sandwich. Revised 6/13/16 to lower the salt content.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whip cream to soft peaks.
- Combine meat, celery, grapes, dried fruit and nuts (or Salad Pizazz), parsley, salt and mayonnaise with whipped cream. Chill.
- Note: Instead of using the dried fruit and the nuts, I always use Salad Pizazz which is a gourmet salad topping that can be found in grocery stores and comes in a variety of flavors. For this salad I like to use the Cherry Cranberry Pecano, the Orange Cranberry Almondine or the Raspberry Cranberry Walnut Frisco.

Steps:
- To bake boneless chicken breasts, preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking pan with foil.
- Arrange the chicken on the pan and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake until the chicken registers 165 F on a food thermometer. Depending on the size and thickness of the boneless chicken breasts, it will take 22 to 30 minutes. Let cool and chop.
- To poach boneless chicken breasts, place chicken in a single layer in a deep skillet or sauté pan.
- If desired, add some herbs and chopped aromatic vegetables, such as onions, garlic, or carrots. Cover the chicken with water (about 1/2 to 1 inch above the chicken breasts) and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and continue cooking for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
- Check the chicken breasts with a food thermometer to ensure they are done to at least 165 F. Let cool and chop.
- Once you've cooked the chicken, gather all of the ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooked, chopped chicken, onion, celery, and egg. Stir to combine.
- Add 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, the dill pickle relish, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Stir to blend well.
- Add more mayonnaise to moisten, if desired.
- Serve on bread with lettuce and enjoy.

GOURMET CHICKEN SANDWICH
Sauteed chicken breasts topped with a mayonnaise/mustard/rosemary spread and graced by 2 slices of garlic rosemary focaccia bread. These sandwiches are great when you want a quick supper, but not something from the freezer. They remind me of an expensive sandwich from an upscale deli. The spread and the chicken can be made in advance, and the chicken can be eaten hot or cold.

- from aunt elsa's kitchen
- Aunt Elsa would make these ahead of time for a party and refrigerate them for a few hours or freeze them for up to a week and remove them from the freezer the morning of the event. Her secret was to spread a thin coat of butter on the bread, which prevents the sandwiches from getting soggy without changing any flavor.
- To make ahead, spread a light coat of butter on one side of each slice of bread. After slicing as directed above, cover the sandwiches with wax paper, and then cover with a damp towel. Refrigerate until needed.
- For longer storage, cover the platter of sandwiches with plastic wrap and freeze. Uncover the sandwiches and let stand at room temperature for a few hours before serving.

CHICKEN SALAD
Steps:
- Place the chicken and broth in a large pot, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and the meat is ready to fall off the bone, about 45 minutes.
- Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate; set it aside until it is cool enough to handle. Then pull the meat from the bones in large pieces, discarding the skin and bones.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken with the mayonnaise, relish, apples, grapes, pecans, and eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Serve over greens or in a sandwich.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your chicken salad sandwich. Look for high-quality chicken, crisp vegetables, and a flavorful mayonnaise or dressing.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it cool before shredding it.
- Shred the chicken finely: Finely shredded chicken will make a smoother, more cohesive chicken salad. You can shred the chicken by hand with two forks, or you can use a food processor.
- Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to chicken salad. Some good choices include celery, red onion, grapes, and nuts.
- Use a flavorful mayonnaise or dressing: The mayonnaise or dressing is what holds the chicken salad together and gives it flavor. You can use a store-bought mayonnaise or dressing, or you can make your own. If you are making your own, be sure to use high-quality ingredients.
- Season the chicken salad to taste: Once you have mixed all of the ingredients together, taste the chicken salad and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other herbs and spices.
- Chill the chicken salad before serving: Chilling the chicken salad will help the flavors to meld together and will make it easier to spread on bread.
Conclusion:
Chicken salad sandwiches are a classic lunch or dinner option that can be made with a variety of ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying chicken salad sandwich that everyone will enjoy.
