This is an excellent salad, and I get compliments on it all the time. Here are some notes on what I do. I have an instant pot so I throw a frozen chicken breast on my trivet and cook at high pressure and high heat for 30 minutes till done. Then I pull out my KitchenAid, either my stand mixer or hand-held one whichever one suits my fancy that day, then beat the out of the chicken to make it shredded. I like the shredded chicken texture better than chunks. Also, always use Duke’s Mayonnaise, it takes this recipe to the next level when you have a good Mayonnaise. Read More

Thai was really good. My wife is not a fan of traditional chicken salad so I tried this one and was really impressed. I did leave out the almonds. Would definitely make again.. Read More

This was excellent. I used leftover chicken breasts that we had grilled the night before, so cut down on some of the prep time. I used about 1/4-1/2 tsp of Goya Adobo seasoning instead of the salt (Goya Adobo seasoning is a Mexican season salt available at most grocery stores). I also added a cubed avocado. I could tell from reading the recipe that it would be good, but the flavors really come together well. A nice update to regular chicken salad, will definitely make it again. Read More

I just loved this! I was growing cilantro and trying to find recipes to use it. This was perfect! I suggest toasting the almonds in a dry fry pan for a few minutes as they become much more flavorable. I increased the cilantro and the celery. Read More

It’s really good, but not as visually appealing as I thought. But yummy. I did used more mayo and the juice from one lime. I think next I may try it with rotisserie chicken from the store. Read More
