Chicken Salad Sandwiches



This is one of my favorite party foods.  For things like baby showers, and bridal showers, I love to make this chicken salad.  It's quick and easy to make, as well as tasty!

The problem with my chicken salad recipe is it's all approximate.  I know, that's hard for a lot of people in the kitchen.  I do a lot by taste and texture/consistency.  Let me tell you the basics though, and you can play with it to suit your tastes!

CHICKEN SALAD
Posted at: http://recipesofacheapskate.blogspot.com

  • shredded chicken (rotisserie works great for this)
  • Mayo
  • Diced celery
  • Diced grapes
  • seasonings: celery seed, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper

Combine mayo and chicken in a bowl.  Add more mayo or chicken until it's a spreadable consistency--err on the side of more mayo.  Add diced celery and grapes, then check the consistency again.  You want it to be chunky, not too runny.  Add more grapes/celery/chicken to get it to a nice texture.  Add seasonings and taste.  Make sure you can taste enough of what you want--I like being able to taste the onion and celery flavor.  Spread mixture on croissant rolls and serve.

  5. Ooo, I like that the picture shows it served on croissants. Chicken salad is one of those awesome "go-to" meals that can be made in bulk for a crowd, but something simple like putting it on a different kind of bread can make it stand out. :)
