I loveeeeee chicken salad! I love it on toasted sourdough, on a bed of fresh lettuce and even just a heaping forkful right from the bowl.
But I'm very picky about my chicken salad - it has to be just to my liking and most importantly can't have TOO much mayo. In order to enjoy it, I usually have to make it from scratch at home. To avoid it being too mayo-y I almost always use a mixture of mayo and greek yogurt. It's so much better tasting and so much better for your!
I recently decide I wanted some chicken salad so I boiled two bone-in chicken breasts. After cooking and cooling, I went to town with two forks shredding the chicken into tiny pieces. I got my shredded chicken for my chicken salad, but the bonus was getting homemade chicken stock to use in soups or other cooking. I never throw away something I can use again.
Once I saw how much chicken I ended up with (I guess they were BIG breasts!) I decided I wasn't going to make ONE kind of chicken salad, but I was going to make TWO!!!
My original plan was to whip up a batch of the delicious Chicken Salad from my go-to gal's website, but now I was also going throw together a batch of her equally delicious, but completely different Curried Chicken Pasta Salad.
