CHICKEN SALAD
We go from this....
TO THIS....
With just a few ingredients.
Just a heads up...this picture is NOT of my chicken salad so the ingredients you see here aren't necessarily found in my chicken salad.
CHICKEN SALAD
ingredients:
4 roasted chicken breasts (skin on, bone-in)
1 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup mayo (the real stuff)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
TARRAGON!!!
OK...first, you need to roast your chicken...yes, ROAST IT!
Leave the skin on....drizzle a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for about 30-45 minutes at 350.
Remove chicken from oven to cool.
While chicken is cooling, clean and chop celery. Put into bowl.
Add 3/4 cup mayo. (no need to mix yet)
When chicken is cool enough to handle, pull the skin and remove meat from the bone. (Why the skin on? The 2 main reasons...flavor and moisture!)
Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces....not too big, but definitely not too small.
Put chicken into bowl with celery and mayo. Toss to coat.
Add salt, pepper and a bit of chopped FRESH tarragon. This adds a wonderful flavor to the salad.
Toss all this together.
Serve on a whole grain bread with some greens....YUM!!!!

I might even be able to eat this one!!
That looks so good. I am going to have to try it. I use a canned chicken (yes, I said canned) from Sam's that is so tender and yummy you wouldn't think it was canned. But we are ditching the cans, so I needed a new chicken salad help. You came just in time!
Your chicken picture really made me laugh :)
I don't like chicken salad :(
Love your blog! That salad looks delish!
Found you via the blog party, nice to meet you! Have a great week. Pop by and say hello if you get a chance.
Blessings

Just give me a spoon and the bowl, and I'll be in chicken salad heaven! (thanks for leaving out the from live chicken to chicken salad photos:)
Just found you from the UBP! Great and encouraging site. I have 2 boys and they love cowboys so when I saw your blog w/ the Bible verse and the boots, I smiled. It is so fun to meet new people in this way.
