My Own Famous Chicken Salad(Formerly A Secret Recipe) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
6 chicken breasts
1/2 c. slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 c. pecans, toasted and chopped
2 tsp. margarine or butter
1/2 tsp. curry powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 c. California red grapes
1 c. celery, chopped
2 Tbsp. onion, chopped very fine
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
mayonnaise (Hellmann's)
Preparation
-
Chop chicken in bite size pieces.
Toast almonds and pecans separately in 1 teaspoon margarine each.
(I do mine in the microwave, stirring at 1 minute intervals until lightly toasted.) Toss all ingredients with just enough mayonnaise to hold together. Better if made a day ahead (before adding mayonnaise) to allow flavors to blend.
Green grapes may be substituted, but the salad will be more tart.
Serve with crackers for a meal or make into sandwiches.
Will make 8 to 10 large sandwiches or 12 to 20 dainty tea sandwiches.
Recipe may easily be halved or doubled.
