    Leftover chicken? Chicken Salad Recipe

    by Heather on March 23, 2007

    I meant to post this earlier in the week, but somehow preparing dinner fell off the radar when I couldn’t move off the couch without the aid of painkillers.


    Chicken Salad Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 – 2 cups cooked chicken – diced
    • 2 ribs celery chopped – roughly the same size as the chicken
    • 1/2 an apple cored and chopped – again, same size
    • 1/4 cup raisins
    • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
    • 2 TBSP mayonnaise
    • 2 tsp lemon juice
    • ~1/2 tsp dried basil
    • salt/pepper to taste

    Now this recipe is incredibly difficult, so pay close attention.

    Chicken Salad Instructions

    Mix the ingredients. (I do like to make this in the morning and let it hang out in the fridge for a few hours allowing the flavors to combine, but this is not critical.)

    Spread on bread or crackers.

    Serve.

    I like your version. In my version, I use cooked chicken, finely diced onion, finely diced celery, mayonnaise, and the secret ingredient: dill. You can use celery seed if you don’t have celery. I also make a crab salad using the same recipe, substituting mock crab meat for chicken. No measuring, just put however much of each thing you like or have on hand.

    PS. Just found your site and I love it. Keep up the good work.
