Need a good chicken salad recipe

[Moonpie]

Anyone have a tasty chicken salad recipe?

This will be served to some older folks so fire breathing habanero stuff is a no go.

Thanks

My wife has a really good one -- works for tuna or chicken.

Here goes:

You can use canned chicken breast (3-4 cans), but the rotisserie chicken from HEB works really well - skinned, deboned and diced or shredded
1 Granny Smith apple, diced
3 boiled eggs, diced
about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of diced sweet or bread&butter pickles
Miracle Whip to taste - Start with about a half a cup and after that add a tablespoon at a time until it is the right consistency and flavor
mustard to taste - I just add a squirt at a time until it tastes how I like it

I was skeptical about the apples in there at first but they really make the whole thing. If you like onions you can dice up about a half of one and throw it in there also.

Good Luck!
Mike

I use fried Chicken from KFC or popeye's and pull it with the fried skin on. Dice that up and put it on a bowl with Mayo, Spicey mustard, chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Add pepper and salt to your liking. I serve it with Mandarin oranges on a salad or its great on a croisant with the oranges on the side. Simple stuff but very good.

If you want an old fashioned recipe, for some old fashioned people, try this.

As much Chix as you think you'll need, minced celery & onion, to taste.
Blend in 1/2 Mayo & 1/2 sour cream until smooth, don't over do it or you'll
have mush. Salt & pepper to taste....,,Let chill for an hour or so to blend
all the flavors.

I was a Chef for 15 years, 5 of which I served as a Chef in an Assissted living facility,
feeding 160 older folk 3x's per day. They loved my Chix salad......Enjoy, !!!
