THE BEST TASTING CHICKEN SALAD EVER

Steps:

• Boil chicken in water until chicken is throughly cooked through. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
• Remove from pot and let cool in container or bowl.
• Chicken cools pretty quickly, usually about 10 minutes. When you can handle it, start shedding it, or take 2 sharp knives and cut them up. It will cool off the chicken quicker if it is cut up.
• After it cools completely, add garlic salt, and pepper.
• Add real mayo and celery.
• Serve between 2 slices of your favorite bread.
• The garlic salt is the secret ingredient to this chicken salad.

CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse chicken thoroughly and place in a large pot of water. Turn on the heat and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is done (about 45 minutes to an hour). When you are ready, remove the chicken from the pot and place on a plate. With your fingers or a fork, pull all of the meat off the bones, chop into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
• Chop all of your fruits and veggies and place them in a bowl with the chicken.
• In another bowl mix mayonnaise, yogurt (or sour cream), lemon juice, brown sugar and salt and pepper to taste.
• Add the dill (or oregano or cilantro...whatever makes your skirt fly up) and if you're feeling a bit brazen throw in a dash of cayenne pepper!
• When the dressing tastes just right (you must taste test for appropriate saltiness especially), pour it over the chicken/veggie/fruit mixture and stir gently until everything is thoroughly mixed. Stir in the almonds. If you are feeling naughty, add a sprinkling of bacon bits.
• Allow the salad to chill for several hours (or even overnight). Serve on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich or heck, eat it straight out of the bowl with a serving spoon. Try it soon-you'll love it!

ULTIMATE CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:
