This is one of my most popular items to serve! I offer pita pockets with it so the ladies can choose to make a sandwich or have it just as a salad. A big bowl of greens and salad fixings on the side make a perfect accompaniment. And, of course, don't forget dessert! Here's the Chicken Salad recipe.
1 lrg whole chicken - roasted (feeds up to 15 people)
1/2 cup mayonnaise - (give or take a little depending on your preference)
1/2 cup sour cream
3 heaping tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 tsp cumin
salt and pepper
1/2 cup halved red seedless grapes
1/2 cup slivered water chestnuts
2 scallions - diced
Roast the chicken and remove meat from the bones. (I reserve and freeze the bones to make homemade chicken stock!) Put in the refrigerator to chill. Mix together all remaining ingredients. Add chilled chicken and return salad to fridge for a minimum of 1 hour. Serve!
I hope you enjoy this recipe at your next event. And remember, taste everything before you serve it. You may want to use different amounts of certain ingredients to suite your taste.
About Me
- Nan
- Born in Fairfield CA to a sailor and his wife, I have 5 siblings, all brothers! I grew up in Salt Lake City Utah on a very rare one acre of land. This is where I learned everything I know. I learned to garden, take care of a home and raise a family. Here I learned to trust God and to love my neighbor as myself. I learned to stand up for what I believe in and stand up for others who had no ability to stand up for themselves. I was taught to have "mutual respect", not ultimate authority. I learned to appreciate the little things in life and to respect all living things. It was in this humble home that I also learned the most important part of living, the complete circle of life which includes dying. My brother was born there and my mother died there. I will forever be connected to that place, I will carry it in my heart forever.
