CHICKEN SALAD WITHOUT CELERY RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large pot place the chicken broth, water and chicken breasts, cook.
• In a food processor (or you can totally chop) chop up the green onion and place in a large bowl.
• Once the chicken has boiled completely, remove and let drain. You want to reserve the water/chicken broth mixture so keep it on the stove!
• Cut the chicken breasts in half and place in the food processor and shred. Place in bowl with green onions.
• In the large bowl pour in mayo and mix with the chicken. Now the chicken salad will be a little dry. This is the time to scoop a TBSP at a time of the water mixture. This helps the chicken not be so dry ;) I typically do 5-7 TBSP's of water, but you may need more or less depending on how big the chicken breasts are.
• Mix in salt and pepper, chill and serve. There is A LOT of pepper in the crack chicken salad. If you don't want so much pepper add less.

Steps:

• 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 the dill (or oregano or 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. Stir in the almonds. 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!
