Wendy'S Famous Chicken Salad
- 2 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- Boil Chicken until fully cooked (I like to use cut up pieces of chicken on the bone. It makes the moistest chicken salad.).
- While Chicken is cooking prepare/chop Celery, Grapes (I find red seedless grapes sweeter), and Parsley.
- De-bone Chicken and remove skin and cartilage.
- Place shredded/diced chicken meat in bowl.
- In a preheated 350 oven, place Almonds in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
- Toast Almonds for approximately 10 minutes (or until slightly golden.) turning Almonds at least once in between. **Keep a close eye on these while cooking, they can over cook very rapidly!
- In a separate bowl, prepare and whip Heavy Whipping Cream until you achieve soft peaks (or according to package directions.).
- Combine Chicken, Celery, Grapes, Parsley, Salt and Mayonnaise.
- Gently fold in toasted Almonds and whipped/prepared Heavy Whipping Cream.
- Chill until ready to serve.
- Serve on large bakery sized Cresent Rolls or on a bed of lettuce or Pita Bread.
