If you typre on google
"insalata di pollo sfilacciato" (shredded chickennsalad) many ideas comes to mind....
The idea was born from rabbit actually, there are many recipes of this secular dish typical of piemonte of "tonno di coniglio" - "rabbit like tuna"...but you can create with whatever mest you can shred, my granma and I always make a great salad with julienne cut fennels and shredded leftover from the beef stew/roast...it tastes awesome![this post was last edited: 3/14/2014-17:57]

Simplicity Fan Here:

My "recipe" is very simple and basic; it has intense flavor. You have to play with the proportions to suit your own taste:

- Cooked chicken cut into large chunks (3/4-inch to 1-inch)*
- Diced celery
- Finely diced onion
- Mayonnaise (I favor Duke's, but ALDI's Burman's is okay. Hellman's is not one I use; too thin and too bland.)
- Salt and freshly coarse-ground pepper to taste.

Toss all ingredients together, taste, and add more of anything needed. Chill at least a couple of hours; overnight is better. If you feel like adding something else, some fresh or dried dill is a nice change.

* The cooked chicken I favor most is chicken breast poached in chicken broth; this gives today's bland chicken more "oomph." If you will let the chicken cool in the broth, it will be extra-juicy.

my go to is shredded chicken, onions, dill pickle, celery salt and pepper and mayo all to taste. Mix it up and you have a good protein on hand for a few days to have for lunch. I am also off the grains and sugar for awhile.. Doing good so far.

I make egg salad the same way without the onion and then adding mustard as well. All low in carbs.

Tuna Salad

I have lived on Tuna Salad for that past 2 weeks and need a break from it. I mix up 4 cans of tuna, a small onion minced, celery ( the whole stock usually ), 8 hard boiled eggs (just the whites) chopped, mustard, mayo, relish, celery seed, salt, pepper. It is delicious!

Yes...but that is chicken, not tuna!!!!! It tastes completely different!
Indeed most combinations you can do with chicken would be unthinkable to do with tuna...

Chicken Salads Gone By...

I vaguely recall a chicken salad that had pecans and dried cranberries in it. It was really good. I just have never been able to recreate it and don't recall when I actually had it. It was a VERY LONG TIME AGO!

There are so many varistions possible out there..... Just take a look here and there, take few ideas and create your own based on tastes....
I like all kinds, but when i have bell peppers from my garden in summer i love to make a few salads with them also and kind of sweet and sour,....as i love bell peppers, especially when is sweet and sour preparations, i can them all the time in summervand also can peperonata and a kind of sweet and sour caramelized relish i make with juliennr strips instead of cubes, love so much bell peppers but i know to some people they give stomach problems...personally i can eat rocks and i am fine....

I like the celery, onion mix with the chicken but would never boil any kind of meat. I always roast chicken in the oven. And especially, now that we are nearing St. Pattys day, a Boiled Dinner, has no flavor, best to roast the corned beef slowly or Crock Pot it.

 

[norgeway]

I Make mine..

Exactly like Sandy's except I add homemade pickle relish...there really is no substitute for Dukes mayo!LOL

Chicken In The Pot

I usually do the chicken in the crockpot with chicken stock, salt pepper and poultry seasoning.
It it best for enchiladas for sure.

Never buy Dukes. Blue Plate in this house!
