Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Teresa Ambra
Fabulous homemade chicken salad recipe with a nice crunch and a delicious, zesty flavor. This recipe is best served on croissants, in wraps or pita pockets and garnished with mild salad pepper rings. Excellent for tailgating parties, lunches and weekend suppers.

Equipment

  • 1 food processor
  • 1 sharp knife to cut vegetables
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken cooked and shredded
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tsp. Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 to 1 cup miracle whip
  • 1/2 cup mild salad pepper rings drained and patted dry

Instructions
 

  • Put cooked meat in food processor and shred.
  • Pour into mixing bowl.
  • Mix with red pepper, onion, celery, relish, salt and pepper and sugar.
  • Stir in Miracle Whip – start with about ½ cup and add until mixed well.
  • Don’t put too much or it won’t stick together well.
  • Spread on sandwich bread and top with salad pepper rings for a delicious sandwich.
  • Also good stuffed in pita pockets, wraps or croissants with salad pepper rings.

Notes

NOTE: Mayonnaise can be substituted for the Miracle Whip but you will lose a lot of the flavor.
 
NOTE: I prefer to grind the chicken with a food processor or the chopper option from an immersion blender. It's a lot easier than chopping the chicken with a knife into small dice.
