SPINACH CHICKEN SALAD



Spinach Chicken Salad image

This recipe is from a cute little tea room called MadHatter's in San Antonio, TX. It's not a spinach salad, it's a chicken salad with spinach in it. Delicious on sourdough with alfalfa sprouts and tomatoes! I've even wrapped these in pastry dough and baked them for a delicious picnic snack hot or cold.

Provided by Pamelamb

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 2h15m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

16 ounces white meat chicken (cooked)
16 ounces fresh spinach
1 (1 1/2 ounce) box Knorr vegetable soup mix
1 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • 1. Blanch spinach: Bring water to a boil and add spinach. Boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until spinach is bright green. Drain water from spinach and submerge spinach into a bowl of ice cold water for a few minutes. Strain spinach and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. It helps to press spinach against a sieve or use paper towels to squeeze out the water. The result is a ball of spinach that can fit into the palm of your hand. Chop spinach.
  • 2. Pour cubed chicken into a food processor and pulse 5 to 6 times to chop.
  • 3. Combine spinach and Knorr soup mix in a large mixing bowl. Mix well with clean hands. Be sure there is no visible soup mix powder. Any soup mix powder should be completely absorbed by the spinach.
  • 4. Add the chopped chicken and mayonnaise to the spinach mixture and mix thoroughly.
  • 5. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. The chicken salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have cooked chicken, you can cook some chicken breasts in a skillet or in a slow cooker.
  • You can use any type of bread you like for the sandwiches, but a hearty bread like sourdough or whole wheat will hold up well to the filling.
  • If you don't have mayonnaise, you can use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead.
  • Add some chopped nuts or crumbled bacon to the salad for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap them tightly and refrigerate them for later.
