HOT CHICKEN SALAD (DAVID LETTERMAN'S MOM'S)



Hot Chicken Salad (David Letterman's Mom's) image

She got it from Alma Worthington who was the food services director at Second Presbyterian for nearly 15 years. Dave's Mom, Dorothy had worked at that Church. This is a casserole made with cooked (leftover chicken) and is different from the other hot chicken salad recipes posted. I haven't tried this yet but it is one of Dave's Mom's favorites. I found this in Home Cookin' With Dave's Mom.

CONTEST-WINNING HOT CHICKEN SALAD



Contest-Winning Hot Chicken Salad image

After I tasted this hot chicken salad at a women's luncheon, I left with the recipe in hand. I was our city clerk for several years, and on election days I brought this to serve our poll workers for lunch. It got everyone's vote of approval! I've found it is also delicious stuffed in a tomato. -Ruth Glabe, Oronoco, Minnesota
