1. chicken , light mayo, dried cranberries or raisens and walnuts or almonds. its something about all the contrasting flavors and textures. crunchy, sweet, salty, etc. I like to put tarragon in mine too. My mom use to put halfed grapes.. I don't like that so much :X also, I like a really fresh yummy cheesy or herbed bread. I put a blanket of lettuce and a thin tomato :D
2. Just don't add the celery it Doesn't need to be there. If you are looking for the extyra crunch celery gives, add a chopped granny smith apple.
3. Just leave out the celery, and any chicken salad recipe will do. Here is a recipe web site that has 308 recipes for chicken salad that you may find useful. I hope this helped, good luck. http://www.recipesource.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?search_string=Chicken+salad&any=off
4. I use diced leftover rotisserie chicken, quartered grapes, thyme, mayo, just a little mustard, and salt & pepper. The grapes give a really nice sweet crunch that is delish =) The measurements depend on how much chicken I have.
5. dice potatoes, boil some pasta, add your chicken and then mayo cucumber avocadoe spring onions or regular onions if desired and olives
6. Use any recipe you want and leave the celery out. Easy.
7. Puree or finely chop preferably grilled chicken (has a smoked flavor to it) with pickel relish, onion, and boiled egg add Miracle whip until creamy and serve with either a wedge of lettuce, or on toasted bread, crackers, or whatever floats your boat.
8. Easy Chicken Salad Recipe This Easy Chicken Salad Recipe is probably one of the most versatile recipes. Here, is it is used on top of salad leaves. You can also serve this salad on tiny, cup-shaped lettuce leaves - it means that everyone is getting a morsel of delicious chicken, without having to have it on carbo-loaded bread. There are hints of Morocco in this Easy Chicken Salad Recipe - cinnamon, ginger and paprika. However, the spices are not strong and your whole family will love it. Toasted almonds add intensity and crunch to the salad. You can substitute these with whatever nuts you have at hand - pecans work well. # Easy # Preparation time: 15 minutes # Cooking time: 15 minutes (for one batch) # Serves 4 - 6 Ingredients: # 1 lb / 500g boneless chicken breasts # 3 medium onions, diced # 2 garlic cloves, crushed # 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon # 1 teaspoon ground ginger # 1 teaspoon ground paprika # ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper # ½ teaspoon salt # ½ cup fresh coriander, chopped # ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped # ½ cup raw almonds # ¼ - ½ cup oil for shallow frying Method: 1. Chop the almonds roughly. Place them on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven at 350° F / 180° C for about 5 - 8 minutes. Be careful that they don't burn. Bear in mind that because of the oil content of nuts, they continue to cook for a little while after being removed from the heat. Set aside. 2. Dice the chicken into ½ inch pieces. Brown the chicken in a little oil - do about a quarter of the chicken meat at a time, adding a little oil after each batch. The chicken needn't be completely cooked through at this stage. 3. Fry the onions in a little oil until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Allow them to brown as this gives flavor to the dish. 4. Add the garlic, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, black pepper and salt to the onions. Be careful that the spices don't burn. Add the coriander and parsley. 5. Add the chicken back to the pan. Cook through for about 2 - 3 minutes. 6. Add the roasted nuts. Serve on a bed of lettuce alongside couscous or pasta.
