CHICKEN SALAD WITH DRIED FRUIT

Steps:

• If you don't already have cooked chicken available, you can poach the poultry in water or chicken broth. Poach chicken breasts by placing in a pot, and covering with water or broth, cook over medium heat for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove chicken from water, and when cool enough to touch shred the chicken breasts and place into a bowl.
• In a medium-sized bowl add sliced celery, nuts, dried fruit, and mayonnaise. Stir to combine the mixture well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Store in a covered container for up to 3 days before serving.

FRUIT, NUT, AND CHICKEN SALAD WITH CURRIED MAYO DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk together the dressing ingredients.
• Mix chicken, apples, pineapple chunks, raisins, pecans, celery, and onions with enough dressing to make it moist but not soggy.
• Chill for at least half an hour to develop the best flavor.
• Can be served on a bed of mixed greens or used as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
• Note - Curry powders vary wildly in both heat and flavor from brand to brand. Start with less and taste before adding more unless you are very fond of curry and sure that you'll enjoy it hot.

BETTER THAN DELI CHICKEN SALAD W/ FRUIT AND NUTS!

Steps:

• 1. Cook chicken breast in a shallow pan filled with water. (You can also add some diced onion into the water at this point if you enjoy the onion flavoring in your chicken salad... I do this and it's wonderful, and yet still passes as not having onions to those that just don't like onion crunchiness in their chicken salad!) After chicken is fully cooked (approximately 20 minutes, turning to ensure all sides are cooked evenly) use a fork to shred your chicken breast into long strips. Place in the fridge to cool.
• 2. In a small bowl, add your 1/2 cup of golden raisins. Pour water into the bowl to cover all of the raisins. Let them sit while you prepare the rest of the recipe. (This makes your raisins plump and juicy... this is a must-do step for the perfect soft, moist fruit!)
• 3. In a large bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of real mayo, 3/4 cup of whipped dressing, 1 TB of dijon mustard, and 2 tb of honey. Beat well.
• 4. Strain the water off of your raisins and dry them on paper towels.
• 5. Add raisins, cranberries, walnuts, and almonds to your mayo mixture.
• 6. Add shredded chicken breast to your mayo mixture.
• 7. Serve chilled; on bread, croissants, or crackers!

Steps:

• Combine dried fruit and apple juice in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Bring to a simmer and stir. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
• Mix mayonnaise and mustard in a medium bowl. Add chicken (or turkey), green onions (or celery) and toasted almonds. Mix well. Stir cooled fruit into chicken mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill if desired, or serve immediately.
• Serve over salad greens as a main dish salad, or in pita pockets or on multi-grain bread as a sandwich filling.
• Cook time is recommended chill time!
• NOTE: 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts = 2 cups cooked, cubed chicken, or a 3 pound whole chicken yields about 4 1/2 cups cooked/diced.
