WiseOwlKnits Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I had this amazing chicken salad from HEB (grocery store) the other day. It used rotisserie chicken and, man it was good! But it was also $6 for a little tiny container of it. I really want to make this myself, but I have no. idea. at all. how. It did NOT have raisins or apples in it and most recipes I'm finding have this in it. If you make it without those things, can you please share your recipe with me?? My kids and I would be most thankful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammyla Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 My recipe is what ever we have on hand with left over chicken. Chicken apple, pear, grapes cut in half, or raisins nuts (usually pecan pieces) onions if you want them a little pickle or relish Mayo, salt and pepper to taste Mix and serve on a good bread or bun with cheese, tomato, lettuce or toast the bread in the toaster oven with the cheese on it and then make your sandwiches...yummy You can sprinkle in a little paprika if you like or other spices, and some people like a little mustard in it, but not me. Enjoy experimenting, because there is no wrong way to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Any chicken salad made w/ HEB left over rotisserie chicken is good! You can use celery, mayo, pepper to taste, onion (if you like onion). We also like to make one w/ apples and red grapes. My dc prefer this one, as they don't like celery. Dh and I like both.

TN Mama Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Just chicken, mayo, onion & celery - s&p to taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa in Jax Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Here's mine (from my grandmother) :) Dice or shred the meat from one chicken. Sprinkle with 1 t salt and 1-2 TBS lemon juice and mix by hand to distribute the lemon/salt. Add 1/2c shredded sharp cheddar and 1/4 cup diced water chestnuts. Mix the cheese and water chestnuts in, then add 1/2 (or more) cup mayo. It's great hot or cold. Grandma served it hot with crushed potato chips on top. :) Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseOwlKnits Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Just chicken, mayo, onion & celery - s&p to taste. It's seriously that easy? Wow... We had a rotisserie chicken for dinner tonight so I'm excited to try this out tomorrow! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I make a pretty good chicken salad, if I do say so, though I don't have a recipe with exact amounts, since I just throw the stuff in until it looks good. I chop up a bunch of cooked chicken and mix it with a bunch of raw diced yellow onion. I mix in a touch of white wine, let it sit for a minute, and then mix in equal amounts of mayo and sour cream (the full fat kind tastes better by far). Sometimes I throw in a little diced celery, or some garlic powder if I'm in the mood. Salt and pepper to taste. Especially good on homemade danish oat bread.

momtotkbb Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 My family hates mayo - but they like Ranch Dressing --so here are my "recipes" if you can call them that: I use either left over Rotisserie ckn or baked ckn and I also buy the canned ckn from SAMS to have on hand for a quick meal. I shred the ckn and stir in Ranch dressing to coat - I like just a little but my family likes it more creamy and salt/pepper to taste. I make another batch that I throw various things in depending upon who is home and wants to eat: ---sliced apples (my fave) ---finely chopped carrots and/or celery ---dh likes bacon bits and shredded chesse ---sometimes dices bread and butter pickles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissad2 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've never had their chicken salad but I use seasoned salt in mine and everyone always asks me what the secret is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 The dressing is good if you use mayo, a sm. amount of dijon mustard, salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper. I put chicken, red pepper (pimento works), celery, onion, pickles (bread & butter) in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
