Juniors White Meat Chicken Salad Recipes

JUNIOR'S WHITE MEAT CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• To cook the chicken: Fill a large saucepan half full with water. Add a few celery leaves, if you wish, plus the salt and white pepper, and bring to a boil over high heat. Slide in the chicken breasts, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken turns opaque and the juices are no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a colander with a slotted spoon, and rinse with cold water. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and cut into 3/4-inch chunks (please don't shred the chicken).
• Place the chicken chunks into a medium-sized bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice and toss well. Add the diced celery and dill and toss again.
• Mix all the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl. Spoon the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until all of the chicken and celery are coated.

"THE OTHER WHITE MEAT" CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in large bowl, stir til combined.
• Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour or two to let flavors mingle.
• We especially like it on cracked wheat bread but sourdough or croissants would be delicious as well.

CHUNKY WHITE MEAT CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Boil eggs then remove from heat. Let cool, then peel and chop and add to a medium size bowl. Note: I find that if eggs are allowed to come to room temperature before you boil them they are much easier to peel.
• 2. Chop gherkin pickles and add to same bowl. Grate onion half into bowl as well. More if you prefer. Add DiJon mustard. Note: Grating onion instead of chopping allows you to have the flavor of onions without the big chunky pieces.
• 3. Add mayonnaise.
• 4. Drain chicken, and add to bowl.
• 5. Mix all the ingredients together.Line platter with lettuce leaves, and lemon wedges.
• 6. Add chicken salad & top with chopped green onions if desired. Add assorted crackers. I like to add fresh squeezed lemon juice on mine.
• 7. Add your favorite garnish items, sliced Flat Pickles, Red Onions, Fresh Tomato Slices & Lettuce leaves.
• 8. Serve on your favorite toasted sliced buns with tomato slices, flat pickles, & sliced red onions.
