HOT CHICKEN SALAD (DAVID LETTERMAN'S MOM'S)



Hot Chicken Salad (David Letterman's Mom's) image

She got it from Alma Worthington who was the food services director at Second Presbyterian for nearly 15 years. Dave's Mom, Dorothy had worked at that Church. This is a casserole made with cooked (leftover chicken) and is different from the other hot chicken salad recipes posted. I haven't tried this yet but it is one of Dave's Mom's favorites. I found this in Home Cookin' With Dave's Mom.

HOT CHICKEN SALAD



Hot Chicken Salad image

This quintessential American casserole epitomizes timeless comfort food. The "hot" in this chicken salad refers to temperature, not spice. This casserole takes the components of a classic chicken salad, tops it off with crunchy classic potato chips and bakes in the oven until warmed through. While the filling and toppings vary by region and recipe, the main ingredients, like the version here, include cooked chicken, celery, mayonnaise, grated cheese and slivered almonds. You can poach your own chicken or save time and use a cut up rotisserie or poached chicken. Hot chicken salad does precisely what is asked of a casserole: to soothe, lift up and spread joy.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds cooked chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces
5 large celery stalks, cut into 1/2-inch slices at an angle
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar (3 ounces)
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon onion salt
Salt and black pepper
4 cups potato chips (classic or ruffled), lightly crushed, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack positioned in the center.
  • Place the chicken, celery, mayonnaise, Cheddar, almonds, lemon juice and onion salt in a large bowl and mix to combine well. Taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper as needed. The amount will depend on how seasoned your chicken is.
  • Transfer the chicken mixture to a 3-quart (9-by-13-inch) shallow baking dish. Spread it out evenly and top with the crushed potato chips. Add more chips if needed to cover the top.
  • Bake uncovered until the chips are golden brown and the mixture is warmed through and bubbling lightly at the bottom, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients, such as free-range chicken and fresh vegetables.
  • If you don't have any cooked chicken on hand, you can easily make your own by boiling or roasting a chicken breast.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, simply cook the chicken and vegetables and let them cool completely. Then, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
  • When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the chicken and vegetables in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or rice, or with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

David Letterman's mom's hot chicken salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its simple ingredients and flavorful dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
