CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN SALAD image

This is a family favorite and a versatile recipe. I am called by grandsons to see how to make it. My grandaughter works for Lulu publishing and my sisters and I had her publish a cook book so we could have our recipes ready for them. Really a fun project that was time consuming but proved to be a hit with the family. Now the all...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pkg 8-oz philadelphia cream cheese
1-2 sprig(s) celery, diced
5 eggs, hard boiled and diced
1 tsp chicken flavored soup paste, salty
1-2 Tbsp hellmans mayo if needed for sandwiches
1 pinch dried red peppers optional
3 can(s) 3.4oz white or mixed chicken, drain
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Set your cream cheese out to soften. Place in large bowl and whip up with a fork.
  • 2. Add the chicken paste to softend cream cheese. Mix well.
  • 3. Add chicken to cream cheese and the chicken will shred up as you mix but for a lettuce cup don't add chicken and over mix, you want it chunky not flaked..
  • 4. Add the diced eggs.
  • 5. Add pepper and mix all together. Chill for at least an hour so the cream cheese can firm up. If too stiff add the mayo. Sandwich spread usually needs the mayo.
  • 6. Like I stated in my note you can use this as a dip for crackers, a sandwich spread, a salad in tomatoes, or dress it up for a chicken salad lettuce cup.
