Exciting Chicken Salad Recipes

Salad is versatile and can be an appetizer, a lunch, a snack or a dinner. If you are going to serve salad as an entree, it will need to be satisfying and filling enough. Lettuce leaves are a nice garnish but they do not tend to satisfy a hungry person very much! If you enjoy grilled chicken recipes, what about making a grilled chicken salad for dinner?

Grilled chicken has an incredible flavor and you can use it to make the most delicious chicken salad recipes. One great idea is to serve a warm chicken salad. Make a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, chopped cabbage and anything else you want, for the base, and then top it with a mixture of warm grilled chicken and crumbled bacon.

Easy Peanut

Add blue cheese and walnut halves and serve some Caesar dressing or ranch dressing on the side. Chopped pineapple, pine nuts, maraschino cherries, black olives or raisins would also be nice with such a salad.

Instead of serving grilled chicken with a salad, what about a smoked chicken salad? Smoked chicken tastes fantastic and you can add it to any salad recipe to give an extra flavor dimension.

Even processed chicken slices can be chopped and added to a mixed salad, but cooking some boneless chicken pieces and adding those to a salad is the best way to make the most appealing and wonderful chicken salad recipes.

How to Make a Fancy Chicken Salad

If you are looking for chicken salad recipes which are suitable for a dinner party, you will also want them to look elegant. Use mixed salad leaves and arrange smoked chicken or grilled chicken on top.

For a buffet you will want to serve the dressing on the side, else the salad might go soggy after a while. Use fresh herbs for an elegant garnish and perhaps some colorful ingredients like cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh peach or fresh cilantro to add visual appeal.

Recipe for Grilled Chicken Salad with a Lime Dressing

This recipe is simple to make and the warm grilled chicken is served on a bed of lettuce which has been tossed with a lime dressing. A smooth, delicious peanut butter sauce is drizzled over the top and this Asian inspired recipe is sure to thrill anyone you serve it to. This recipe makes enough for two people.

You will need:

2 warm grilled chicken breasts 4 tablespoons hot water 4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter 1 tablespoon ground ginger 4 teaspoons honey mustard 1 teaspoon black pepper 7 1/2 tablespoons honey 2 teaspoons sesame oil 1/2 head iceberg lettuce 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons soy sauce 1/2 cup lime juice 2 cloves minced garlic 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

How to make it:

Combine the peanut butter, hot water, soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil in one bowl. Mix together the lime juice, honey, honey mustard, salt, pepper, oil and garlic in another bowl and stir in the lettuce.

Divide the lime and lettuce mixture between two bowls. Slice the chicken breast and arrange it on top of the lettuce. Drizzle the peanut butter sauce on top and serve.

Exciting Chicken Salad Recipes

You can serve chicken salad recipes at any occasion and these recipes range from basic and healthy to luxurious and gourmet. If you enjoy grilled chicken recipes why not make a grilled chicken salad, pairing the warm, juicy chicken with your favorite salad leaves and salad dressing?

Melt the butter over a moderately high heat in a four quart pan or a Dutch oven. Add the onions, garlic, celery, and chicken and cook the mixture for about ten minutes or until the meat is not longer pink, stirring it often.

Add the broth, poultry seasoning, frozen mixed vegetables, salt, pepper, and parsley and mix well. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring it often. Mix the milk and flour in a bowl until smooth, then add this to the pot. Turn the heat down to low.

Divide the dough into five biscuits and cut each one into quarters. Arrange them on top of the chicken mixture and sprinkle the paprika over the top. Tightly cover the pot and cook it for half an hour or until the biscuits are fluffy and cooked through. Serve the dish with the parsley sprinkled over the top.

"Just Chicken" - Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie Ingredients:

3-4 lb chicken, diced into sections or pieces

Butter Cookie Recipe

Pie dough (recipe below)

1/4 cup butter

Pepper and salt

1 cup of whole milk (do not use non-fat milk)

4 cups of chicken stock

8" baking dish or pie pan

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place the pieces of chicken in a large pot and add just enough water to cover the top of the chicken. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to medium-low and slowly boil until the meat is falling apart. While the meat cooks, you can prepare the pie dough and grease the baking dish.

Slice the dough in half and then roll out one half to around 1/8 inch thick. Carefully put the rolled out dough in the bottom of the pan. If there is any over-hanging pie dough, cut it from the edges of the pan and set aside.

Place shredded chicken in the dish and the remaining dough. If possible, layer the chicken and the leftover pie dough. Pour in the milk and evenly distribute with two tbsp of the butter. Sprinkle with pepper and salt to taste.

Next, take the other half of the pie dough and roll into a long 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Dice the remaining two tablespoons of butter into tiny pats and dot along the dough. Fold the pie dough into thirds and roll out. Repeat once more. This will ensure that the butter is blended into the dough. Roll out into a thin circle and cover the top half of the pie. Squeeze the edges together and then slice a hole in the top to allow hot air to escape.

Bake the chicken pot pie in the oven for 35-45 min until the juices bubble and the crust is golden brown.

Pie Dough Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter, diced into small pieces or shortening
3/4 cup of ice water

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour and salt and then work the butter lightly into the flour using either two forks or a pastry blender. When the flour mixture looks like coarse meal, slowly add the ice water and combine just until the dough can hold together. Don't over mix, or else the dough will get "gummy". Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 60 minutes in order to "rest".

Ground or Minced Chicken can be bought from your butcher, but it is just as easy to by the meat yourself remove the skin and place it in a food processor.

Buying a whole bird and portioning it yourself works out much cheaper than buying the pre-packed portions. When it comes to choosing and preparing your chicken, the more naturally a bird is raised the better it will taste.

There are many types of bird available, Free-Range, Corn-fed (yellow flesh as they have been fed corn)Some have added herbs and flavorings, others are self-basting with either butter or olive oil injected into the flesh this will help to keep the flesh succulent during cooking.

I have put together some easy Chicken Recipes that you can cook with and for your children, I know my kids love Chicken Nuggets and I have found that when they cook their own they really enjoy getting messy, but will never let me buy the store bought ones again. I hope you enjoy my recipes and you will share your favorite family recipes with other visitors.
