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.
