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.

ReplyDeleteThey look delicious. Wish I was eating one right now!
ReplyDeleteI love chicken salad!
ReplyDeleteOoo, 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. :)
