Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 skinless, boneless chicken breast
⅔ cup elbow macaroni
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
1 apple, cored and diced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 carrot, diced
2 (1.5 ounce) boxes raisins
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon seasoned salt

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a simmer over low heat. Add the chicken breast to the water and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the water and allow to cool before shredding the meat into a large bowl.
  • While the chicken cooks, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the macaroni at a boil until cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water to halt the cooking process until the pasta is cool to the touch. Add to the bowl with the chicken.
  • Stir the pineapple, apple, celery, carrot, and raisins to the bowl; toss to combine. Add the mayonnaise, sugar, and seasoned salt; gently stir the mixture until evenly coated. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

FILIPINO ITLOG NA MAALAT AT KAMATIS (EGG AND TOMATO SALAD)



Filipino Itlog Na Maalat at Kamatis (Egg and Tomato Salad) image

This recipe has been passed to me from my Filipino mother. It's a filipino egg and tomato salad. I eat it with plain rice but can also be eaten with fried fish and spam / salted pork. It's traditionally made with salted duck eggs but I use regular hard boiled eggs.

BUKO SALAD (FILIPINO YOUNG COCONUT & FRUIT SALAD)



Buko Salad (Filipino Young Coconut & Fruit Salad) image

This is a very popular desert in the Philippines. Buko is young coconut flesh and is used in many foods here. When we first moved to the Philippines we were a little turned off by the idea of having corn and cheese in our fruit salad, but it's grown on me and now even my kids love it. Still, even though it's tradditionally made this way I've also been served buko salads once or twice that didn't add the corn and cheese, so I put it as optional. This recipe was given to me by my good Filipino friend and helper, Marina. Cooking time doesn't include freezing time. This can be eaten right out of the freezer when it's more frozen, after it's sat out and mostly melted, or it's even eaten completely melted sometimes.

FILIPINO FRUIT SALAD



Filipino Fruit Salad image

An unexpected hit that takes familiar ingredients like fruit cocktail and cream cheese... always a hit at summer get togethers. You can easily substitute and add different fruits to your liking. More traditional recipes will include nata de cocoa, lychees, or other regional fruits. My recipe is geared more towards my friends here in the midwest.

Time 1h10m

Yield 18-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (30 ounce) cans fruit cocktail, drained
