Chicken Salad
- 1 whole Cut Up Fryer Chicken
- 2 stalks (to 3 Stalks) Celery, Chopped
- 3 whole Green Onions, Chopped
- 2 cups (to 3 Cups) Grapes, Halved
- 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cups Plain Yogurt Or Sour Cream
- 1/2 cups Half-and-half
- A Small Handful Of Fresh Dill, Minced
- 1/2 cups Slivered Almonds
- 1 Tablespoon (to 2 Tablespoons) Brown Sugar
- Juice Of One Lemon
- Kosher Salt To Taste
- Fresh Ground Black Pepper To Taste
- Rinse chicken thoroughly and place in a large pot of water. Turn on the heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is done (about 45 minutes to an hour). When you are ready, remove the chicken from the pot and place on a plate. With your fingers or a fork, pull all of the meat off the bones, chop into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
- Chop all of your fruits and veggies and place them in a bowl with the chicken.
- In another bowl mix mayonnaise, yogurt (or sour cream), lemon juice, brown sugar and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add fresh herbs (dill, oregano, cilantro...whatever makes your skirt fly up) and if you're feeling a bit brazen throw in a dash of cayenne pepper!
- When the dressing tastes just right (you must taste test for appropriate saltiness especially), pour it over the chicken/veggie/fruit mixture and stir gently until everything is thoroughly mixed. If you are feeling naughty add a sprinkling of bacon bits.
- Allow the salad to chill for several hours (or even overnight). Serve on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich or heck, eat it straight out of the bowl with a serving spoon.
- Try it soon - you'll love it!
