Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups chicken (cooked, chopped)
3 tablespoons onion (red or yellow; finely chopped)
1/4 cup celery (finely chopped)
1 large egg ( hard-boiled ; chopped)
1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise (as needed to moisten the salad)
1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
1/4 teaspoon salt (or seasoned salt to taste)

  • 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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Serves 12 to 14

Number Of Ingredients 13

Two 14 1/2-ounce cans low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
1 celery stalk with leaves, cut lengthwise into four pieces, plus 1/2 cup finely diced celery
1 carrot, peeled and cut lengthwise into four pieces
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
1 dried bay leaf
5 whole black peppercorns
1 whole boneless and skinless chicken breast (about 1/2 pound)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 loaf whole-wheat bread, sliced and crusts removed
1/2 head green-leaf lettuce, leaves separated

Steps:

  • Place chicken broth and the water in a medium saucepan. Add celery stalk pieces, carrot, onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns; bring mixture just to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and add chicken breast. Poach until chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool.
  • Transfer chicken to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade; process until it is finely ground. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add mustard, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and remaining 1/2 cup diced celery. Season with salt and pepper, and stir well to combine. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed.
  • Make sandwiches: Spread a dab of remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise on one side of each of the bread slices. Top half the slices with a thin layer of chicken salad and a few lettuce leaves; cover with remaining bread slices. Cut sandwiches in half. Stack several, and wrap well in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 7m

Yield 2-3 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast, cold
2 -3 tablespoons Miracle Whip
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/8-1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8-1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8-1/4 teaspoon Season-All salt
salt & pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons shredded colby-monterey jack cheese
1/2 tomatoes, sliced (optional)
4 -6 slices bread, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Mix the chicken, miracle whip, mustard, & spices together in a food processor.
  • Stir in the cheese then spread the mixture evenly on 2-3 slices of bread. Top with the tomato then with the remaining bread.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Use fresh, flavorful chicken, crisp celery, and sweet grapes.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. To ensure juicy, tender chicken, cook it to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Shred the chicken finely: This will make the salad easier to eat and will help the flavors to blend together.
  • Add some crunch: Celery, chopped walnuts, or almonds add a nice crunch to the salad.
  • Use a light mayonnaise: A heavy mayonnaise will weigh down the salad and make it greasy. Use a light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salad more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or with crackers: This will help to balance out the richness of the salad.

Chicken salad sandwiches are a classic for a reason. They're easy to make, delicious, and perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
