Fruity & Creamy Chicken Salad image

I love chicken salad and was playin' in the kitchen one day and created this recipe. I was low on mayo so I extended it with creamed cheese. Yummy! I think I now know how those deli chicken salads taste so creamy & rich. The addition of grapes and apple, or pineapple send it over the top in goodness. I learned the hard way not...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 c chicken breast or boneless, skinned chicken, cubed, or rotisserie chicken , skinned and boned and cut up.
4 oz creamed cheese, softened
1/3 - 1/2 c mayonaise, start with less & add more if needed
1/3 c vidallia or maui salad dressing
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 c green onions or sweet red onion, chopped
1 c seedless red or green grapes, halved
1 c celery, diced
1 c peeled and diced apple or pineapple tidbits (your choice) either is equally good
1/2 c water chestnuts, chopped
1/2 c walnuts or sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, whisk together softened creamed cheese, salad dressing, & mayonaise until creamy and smooth. Add the S S & P. Prepare all veggies & fruit and fold into creamy mixture. Lastly, fold in the prepared chicken. You can roast a whole one or bake chicken breasts yourself or use a deli chicken, skinned, boned and cut in cubes. When salad is all mixed refrigerate for several hours so flavors will marry.
  • 2. Make this salad your own by adding different fruits other than what I used. This is great served on lettuce leaves, a half an avacado, or just by itself. Enjoy!

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, but this salad is still delicious. The fruit and nuts add a nice sweetness and crunch.

I made this salad last night and it was delicious! I used a rotisserie chicken and it made the salad extra flavorful. I also added some chopped celery and grapes for some extra crunch and sweetness.
