Who says Chicken Salad
has to be boring?

Chicken SaladChris's Chicken Salad Open Plate

Chris’s Chicken Salad is a delightful switch from chick'n salad you would normally get from the supermarket.

Not masked by too much mayonnaise or salad dressing, the chicken, celery, grapes and apple pieces gently poke through so you taste each on its own.

What you will find is a refreshing salad that melts in your mouth while giving you some crunch.

Truly a very light mouthwatering delight when served with two slices of country white bread, string cheese and a half apple.

Selecting the Chicken for your Chicken Salad

Whatever whole breast chicken you prefer, it needs to be cooked thoroughly without turning it into a brick, so watching the boil is important.

We have tried all different chicken brands but since we have discovered Bell and Evans chicken, we enjoy the true taste of antibiotic-free chicken.  

Not all markets carry this brand, so we tend to shop different markets in our area that we know so when our regular market is out we go to the next market to pick up what we need.

Bell and Evan chickens are fed an all-vegetarian diet of pressed soybeans with corn and amino acids.  And you can tell the difference in color, taste and texture.  

Selecting the Ingredients for your Chick'n Salad

Everyone has their taste for different kinds of meat, vegetables and dressings, and we are no different.  

Our suggestion is to use what you have enjoyed and what fits into your budget.

We enjoy certain things too and have tried this recipe with different ingredients and got different results, but we encourage you to use what you have first then try it as listed in the recipe.  

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs. Boneless breast white meat chicken
  • 25 – Whole Green Seedless Grapes (quartered)

  • 1 Tbsp. Hellmann's Mayonnaise
  • 1.5 Tbsps. Hellmann's Relish Sandwich Spread
  • Pinch of Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

While the chicken is cooling, slice the grapes in half and then quarter.

Cut the apple into slices peel the skin then dice.  The size of the apple is up to you…

Dice Celery into edible pieces that suit your palate.

Cut the chicken into bite-size chunks or hand pull the chicken breast apart to make it string like.
