CHICKEN SALAD BASIC RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut the roast chicken into small pieces and discard the skin and bones. Put the chicken, grapes, almonds, scallions and celery in a large bowl. In another bowl, mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, cream, dill, brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Allow to chill for several hours or even overnight.
• Before serving, garnish with halved grapes and chopped dill. Serve on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the chicken in a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast until the juices run clear, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool completely before using for chicken salad.

Steps:

• Toss together the chicken, celery, scallions, dill and parsley in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Add to the chicken and mix gently until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Put the parsley, thyme, onion, carrot, celery, and chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Cover with the broth, and bring just to a boil. Lower the heat to very low and cover. Poach the chicken until firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, uncover and cool the chicken in the liquid for 30 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and reserve the liquid. Bone and skin the chicken and roughly chop the meat into about 1-inch pieces. Discard the bones and skin.
• Strain the broth and store, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for later use. Remove any fat from the surface of the broth before using.
