Chicken Salad Recipe

Almond Chicken Salad Recipe
Delicious Versatility
Salad, Sandwich Or As An Appetizer Spread!


What flexibility this restaurant Almond Chicken Salad Recipe provides!

This restaurant recipe can be used to make a sandwich, a salad or a number of really great appetizers!

almond chicken salad

This restaurant recipe is one of my customers' favorites. I know because they always clean their plates and ...have asked for this secret restaurant recipe many, many times. That makes it a best restaurant recipe.


Here is the basic Almond Chicken Salad Recipe. (Don’t worry. I will tell you how to “tweak” it for sandwiches and several different kinds of appetizers after you have the basic recipe.)

Preparation time: 20 minutes. This restaurant recipe makes approximately 8 servings if used as a sandwich or a salad. For appetizers, much more.

Cooking Conversion Table

Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 pounds cooked chicken breasts or a combination of white and dark chicken meat
  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced celery
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried cranberries (important)
  • 1/2 cup toasted almonds

    Ingredients for Dressing:

    • 1/4 cup whipping cream, whipped softly
    • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    • 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper

    Instructions:

  • Chop chicken lightly in a food processor or chop half the meat with a knife and the other half in the food processor (don’t over do it or you’ll end up with a paste)
  • Fold in celery, cranberries and almonds
  • Whip cream and slowly blend in the mayonnaise and coarse black pepper
  • Toss the chicken mixture with the dressing using ONLY ENOUGH to moisten well
  • Correct seasoning adding salt and pepper if desired

    That’s it. Just scoop the portion size you want onto a little lettuce arranged neatly on a plate, garnish with a couple slices of tomato and serve with some bread or one of my award-winning bran muffins.


    Option: If you do not have sun-dried cranberries, use canned pineapple, grapes or fresh chopped apples, although I believe the sun-dried cranberries really are BEST in this restaurant chicken salad. It is what has made this a secret restaurant recipe for so many years.

    To use the chicken salad for sandwiches just combine two slices of bread (your choice), 2 lettuce leaves, 2 - 3 slices of tomato and a little mayonnaise if desired.

    Now what do you do to use this best restaurant recipe for creating appetizers?

    Chop the chicken salad a bit finer. That’s all you have to do!

    And then what? Use the chicken salad to fill small cream puffs, or cherry tomatoes. Use it as a topping for canapés or as a spread on a variety of crackers.
