Best Kellys Famous Chicken Salad Recipes
THE BEST CHICKEN SALAD
Gently poaching chicken breasts in an aromatic broth yields tender morsels for folding into a bright and herby homemade dressing. Serve it solo on a bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes or in half an avocado. It also makes a killer chicken club sandwich topped with crisp bacon and other sandwich fixings.

Steps:
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, 1 tablespoon salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
- Toss together the chicken, celery, shallot, dill and parsley in a large bowl.
- Add the dressing to the chicken and mix gently until combined. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight to meld flavors. Garnish with chives.
- Put the parsley, thyme, onion, carrot, celery and chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Cover with the broth and bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low and cover. Poach the chicken until firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, uncover and cool the chicken in the liquid for 30 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and reserve the liquid. Bone and skin the chicken and roughly chop the meat into about 1/2-inch pieces. Discard the bones and skin.
- Strain the broth and store, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for later use. Remove any fat from the surface of the broth before using.
RACHEL'S CRANBERRY CHICKEN SALAD
This is a great sandwich filling that they make at the diner in the hospital where I work, but I fancied it up a bit with some green onions and pecans. A great way to use up leftover chicken. Delicious!

KELLY'S FAMOUS CHICKEN SALAD
This chicken salad is a little different. It has a secret ingredient that makes everyone ask "what is that?" The key to any good salad, in my opinion, is to roast chicken on the bone with the skin on. Give this one a try and let me know what you think! Oh, and one more thing, you can subsitute the celery for chopped water chestnuts ( I did that for a friend who wasn't big on celery). Enjoy!

Steps:
- Begin by adding water to a large pot. Add the chicken tenderloins into the water. Bring the water to a boil.
- the pot. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overcook or the chicken will be rubbery. The chicken should register at 165 degrees with a meat thermometer. You will also be able to tell if the chicken is done when you go to shred it.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the water and let it cool. Use two forks or use a stand or hand mixer to shred the chicken in a large bowl. I find that using a mixer is best because it is very quick and it helps get the chicken very fine like the original recipe.
- Next, run the celery rib through your food processor until it is finely diced.
- Stir well. Add the cranberries and slivered almonds and then stir again.
- Serve over salad, toasted bread, or with crackers.
