Chicken Salad Sandwich Filling
This is a really good basic chicken salad sandwich filling I've adapted from Lion House Recipes and another recipe on-line.
Recipe:
4 C diced chicken breasts (about 2 lbs)
Water
1 Tbs salt
1/3 C celery, chopped
4 scallions, sliced and then chopped
7-8 Tbs Walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 C + 2 Tbs mayonnaise
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 tsps fresh lemon juice
1/4-1/2 tsp salt or to taste
1/4 tsp pepper
How to Poach Chicken:
Put room temperature chicken in stock pot of water and 1 Tbs salt (you can add carrots, onion, celery, parsley and thyme if desired to give the chicken a better flavor). Heat over medium-high until the water is between 150-170°F. Turn to low, cover and continue to cook, keeping the temperature between 150-170°F, until chicken registers 155°F in thickest parts. Remove chicken from water, cover and put in refrigerator to completely cool.
Cut chicken into small chunks. Mix everything together. This is a basic recipe you can add whatever you want to, such as 2 C halved grapes, 2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley and 1 1/2 tsps chopped fresh dill. Eat the salad on a lettuce bed or as a sandwich.
