This is a recipe I discovered by accident. While trying to make the Betty Crocker® chicken salad, I discovered I didn't have all the spices. '...quick, what can I substitute...' This has been a family favorite ever since.

FRUIT & NUT CHICKEN SALAD



Fruit & Nut Chicken Salad image

From The Gadsden Times (online edition) by Mary Lucille Jordan. Can be made with poached or roasted chicken or turkey. Dried cranberries can be substituted for the raisins -- diced celery can be substituted for the onions! Chill if desired, or serve immediately. -------- The salad pictured is made with raisins, both celery and green onions to fill the 1/3 cup measure, (not 1/3 cup of each), and about twice the amount of toasted almonds as called for in the recipe -- the almonds were so good I couldn't resist doubling the amount! It is a nice combination of flavors -- NOTE: salt and pepper can be added to taste.

BETTER THAN DELI CHICKEN SALAD W/ FRUIT AND NUTS!



Better than Deli Chicken Salad w/ Fruit and Nuts! image

I don't know about everyone else, but I just can't go by the deli counter in my local grocery store without stopping by and getting a container of their chicken salad with fruit and nuts. Who needs crackers or breads when you can eat it by the spoonful straight from the container! I finally decided it was time to master this...

Provided by Nicole H.

Categories     Salads

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 c mayonnaise, light (i use hellman's!)
3/4 c whipped dressing (i use miracle whip!)
1/2 c cranberries, dried (i use craisins!)
1/2 c golden raisins
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp honey
1/4 c chopped walnuts
1/4 c almond slivers
2 lb cooked, shredded chicken breast

Steps:

  • 1. Cook chicken breast in a shallow pan filled with water. (You can also add some diced onion into the water at this point if you enjoy the onion flavoring in your chicken salad... I do this and it's wonderful, and yet still passes as not having onions to those that just don't like onion crunchiness in their chicken salad!) After chicken is fully cooked (approximately 20 minutes, turning to ensure all sides are cooked evenly) use a fork to shred your chicken breast into long strips. Place in the fridge to cool.
  • 2. In a small bowl, add your 1/2 cup of golden raisins. Pour water into the bowl to cover all of the raisins. Let them sit while you prepare the rest of the recipe. (This makes your raisins plump and juicy... this is a must-do step for the perfect soft, moist fruit!)
  • 3. In a large bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of real mayo, 3/4 cup of whipped dressing, 1 TB of dijon mustard, and 2 tb of honey. Beat well.
  • 4. Strain the water off of your raisins and dry them on paper towels.
  • 5. Add raisins, cranberries, walnuts, and almonds to your mayo mixture.
  • 6. Add shredded chicken breast to your mayo mixture.
  • 7. Serve chilled; on bread, croissants, or crackers!
