DAD'S CHICKEN SALAD



Dad's Chicken Salad image

This is a salad that my Dad came up with. It's easy to make and has a lot of flavor. You can use any seasoning you want when preparing the chicken. You can also use regular mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip, but the Miracle Whip is what gives it more flavor and you don't have to add salt or pepper to it if you do.

DAD'S FAVORITE SALAD

My father always liked this salad, so I shared this recipe with my mom. When she first made it for Dad, he enjoyed it so much he told here to be sure to share the recipe with me. I laughed because he didn't know that I had given the recipe to Mom in the first place. I knew he'd like it.-Judy Long, Limestone, Tennessee

DAD'S CHICKEN SOUP



Dad's Chicken Soup image

This isn't MY dad's chicken soup recipe, it's just what it was called. I think this originally came from Bon Appetit. I have always made it with pasta instead of rice. The thyme in this is what makes it tasty. Prep time does not include cooking the chicken.

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups canned low sodium chicken broth (or more--I usually use more like 12)
1 onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice (or pasta)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
2 cups diced cooked chicken
salt and pepper
chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring first five ingredients to boil in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over high heat.
  • Mix in rice and thyme.
  • Return soup to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered until rice is tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Add chicken and simmer until heated through, thinning with additional broth if desired.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer soup to large bowl.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.
  • Note: if using pasta instead of rice, add it with the chicken and simmer until the pasta is tender.
  • I like corkscrew pasta in this.
