Tasty chicken salad

Who doesn't love a chicken salad sandwich for lunch a hot day in summer, or any other day elsewhere! The key to good chicken salad is to begin to give a flavor throughout the realization of the. My recipe is as much on the method of cooking as ingredients:

Split chicken breasts with skin on the stalks of celery bone2, a half another medium onion diced1, small quartered6 carrots1 clove of garlic or onions powder4 green garlic, chopped1/2 small pickle finely diced1 small bunch grape cut into small half1 Apple, chopped1/2 cup chopped walnutsmayonnaise or dressingsalt of Miracle Whip salad and pepper to taste

Place breasts of chicken, carrots, celery stem, 1 clove of garlic or sprinkle with garlic powder and onions stock pot. Cover with water and let simmer until chicken is fully cooked. Get chicken breasts and place them in a large bowl of ice water to stop cooking. When the breasts are cooled, take the skin off the coast of meat and chop.

Place, celery, diced Apple, grape halves, green onions, pickle and nuts in a bowl. Rough chop the three or four chicken breasts and Add. Use the consistency you want enough mayonnaise or salad dressing to salad, salt and pepper to taste.

This salad goes well with more than any kind of bread has some body to it. Home made whole wheat bread or crusty French bread is ideal. The method of cooking of simmering in a pot with vegetables not only gives great flavor to chicken and retains very wet, but it also gives the added benefit of water that the chicken is cooked, which naturally turned into chicken broth! This strain and use it to make soup for the chicken or stew. For a lower fat alternative, after deformation refrigerate overnight. Everything in bold in the broth to solidify the top and can be skimmed off before use.

To reduce the fat even further away, use mayonnaise made with olive oil. It has fewer calories, less fat, great taste and olive oil has been shown to help reduce cholesterol levels.

For interesting variations in the basic recipe, use Turkey or chicken ham. Cashew nuts or Pecans may be substituted for the nuts. You may also add two hard boiled eggs, diced to salad to make it even more tasty.
