Delicious Chicken Salad image

Creamy Chicken Salad with walnuts, grapes and water chestnuts and lots more. This was made after we made a chicken in the crock-pot and had a lot of left overs. I looked a number of chicken salad recipes and none had all the ingredients I wanted. So I decide to experiment and this is what I came up with. I admit the spices and herbs are estimates as I just eyeballed how much I put in. So feel free to adjust to your tastes.

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 roasted deli chicken
4 ounces Diamond walnuts
4 ounces sliced water chestnuts
2 celery ribs
1/2 red onion
4 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 hard-boiled egg
1/2 lb red grapes
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1 1/2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon ground rosemary
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dill
6 -8 large crescent rolls (optional)

Steps:

  • diced chicken in small cubes and place in large mixing bowl.
  • finely dice red onion, hard boiled egg and celery.
  • if you did not buy the chopped walnuts then chop them now.
  • quarter the red grapes and quarter the water chestnut slices.
  • add all ingredients to the large mixing bowl.
  • add the diced water chestnuts, chopped walnuts and relish (I prefer the sweet pickle relish cubes). and shredded Parmesan cheese not grated.
  • in separate bowl mix the mayonnaise, organic sour cream and all herbs and spices and mix well.
  • add the dressing mix in the dry ingredients until it is to the desired consistency/moistness you prefer. I used all the dressing and it was perfect for me but you may prefer a less moist salad.
  • refrigerate for at least an hour for best flavor.
  • serve on large bakery crescent rolls or bread of your choice.
