St. Louis-Style Chicken Salad image

Entered for safe-keeping, adapted from Denise Evans, "Eat Laugh Love". I am fascinated by local food fetishes, and this was based on Straub's Market's version. This is comfort food, no calorie spared. I normally pressure cook bone-in skin-on chicken to get moist, rich chicken; Recipe #369106 is my go-to recipe (be sure to save the chicken stock for another recipe). If you don't want tiny black specks, use white pepper. It may not be authentic Straub's-style, but I would be tempted to replace the sour cream with Calabro All Natural Whole Milk Ricotta (if available) or Galbani Sorrento Original Ricotta Cheese (whole milk) -- these are premium ricottas, a world apart from the standard supermarket ricotta.

This recipe was a disaster! The dressing was too sweet and the chicken was dry. I do not recommend this recipe.
