EASY MOLDED CHICKEN SALAD

Easy Molded Chicken Salad image

This is a tasty Molded Chicken Salad. It is a culmination of a couple of recipes I found on the web. I don't have a jello mold so I use an 8x8" square Pyrex dish. The portions are quite thick. I am sure you can use a 9x13" baking instead if you want thinner portions.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are leaner, while chicken thighs are more flavorful.

Cook the chicken thoroughly: To ensure that the chicken is safe to eat, cook it to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).

Shred the chicken finely: This will help the chicken to blend well with the other ingredients.

Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients, such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, and cheeses.

Season the chicken salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.

Chill the chicken salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the chicken salad more refreshing.
