Chicken Salad with Dried Fruit Recipe image

Provided by doran65

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound chicken breasts or 1 pound left over cooked chicken
3 ribs of celery thinly sliced
1 cup of walnuts - pecans, and almonds also work well
1/2 cup dried cherries, or craisins
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • If you don't already have cooked chicken available, you can poach the poultry in water, or chicken broth. Poach chicken breasts by placing in a pot, and covering with water or broth, cook over medium heat for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove chicken from water, and when cool enough to touch shred the chicken breasts and place into a bowl. In a medium sized bowl add sliced celery, nuts, dried fruit, and mayonnaise. Stir to combine mixture well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Store in a covered container for up to 3 days before serving. This Chicken Salad can be served on a bed of lettuce, or served in fancy rolls, or even on plain bread. I personally love to serve this chicken salad with a nice bowl of soup. I don't think you can beat that soup and sandwich combination.

This chicken salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred it if the dressing had less sugar. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken salad, but this recipe was really good. The dried fruit added a nice sweetness and the dressing was very flavorful. I would definitely make this again.
