Alright, let’s talk about chicken salad. I tried making it at home the other day, and it turned out pretty good, so I thought I’d share my little adventure.
First off, I cooked some chicken breasts. Boiled them until they were cooked through, nothing fancy. Then, I shredded the chicken into a big bowl. It took a while, but it’s kind of relaxing, you know?
Next, I added some mayo. I used the regular stuff, but I guess you can use light mayo or even Greek yogurt if you’re watching your calories. And then, I chopped up some celery and onions. I like my chicken salad with a bit of crunch, so I made sure the pieces weren’t too small.
The Mix-In
- Tossed in some grapes. I cut them in half because whole grapes are just too big.
- Sprinkled in some salt and pepper. I also added a bit of garlic powder ’cause I like that extra kick.
- Mixed everything together. Make sure the chicken is well-coated with the mayo and all the other stuff is evenly distributed.
Now, what to eat with this chicken salad? I had some leftover bread, so I toasted a couple of slices and made a sandwich. It was delicious! But I was thinking, what else could go with this?
I remembered seeing someone use crackers, so I tried that too. It was good, a different kind of crunch. Then, I thought, why not make it a bit fancy? I fried some tater tots, and it was a pleasant combination. The creamy chicken salad with the crispy tater tots, it was a match made in heaven.
Extra Touches
Another day, I made a big batch of chicken salad and had it with a simple fruit salad, which included fresh berries and some peaches with a little bit of lime juice, which was pretty refreshing. It’s a nice way to balance out the meal. You got your protein, your carbs, and your fruits all in one go.
So yeah, that’s my chicken salad story. It’s a simple dish, but there’s so much you can do with it. I might try adding some nuts next time, or maybe some different spices. The possibilities are endless!
