Rotisserie Chicken Salad Recipe - What is Your Secret Ingredient?

[@KaleidoscopeMagic]

I love putting grapes in my chicken salad - sliced in half. That and some squirts of lemon juice - ahhh! Other ingredients I use: boiled egg, diced celery, diced apple, sweet pickle relish, chopped pecans, diced onion, garlic powder, Helmann's mayonnaise, squirt of mustard, salt, pepper.

[@susiedurr9067]

Dried cranberries are great in chicken salad.

[@bruceezell4017]

I never have put dried cranberries but it would have to good!!!!

[@irmalujan1723]

That’s what put in it 👍🏻

[@sonyafox3271]

Yes, they sure are, so are a mix of red and, green grapes with a blend of mayonnaise and sour cream! I’d rather have my chicken more naturally sweet than, a overload of sugar, the way my mom and grandma made it like they have in the deli, it makes your chicken salad tend to taste mushy.

[@Kandy77788]

I’m a simple girl!! I do my chicken salad almost like tuna salad.. boiled egg, sweet pickle relish, mayo and salt and pepper!! Yours looks great Tammy

[@airmanma]

My grandmother added McIntosh apple, raisins, and walnuts. It was always delicious!!!!!

[@auntminervasikler7764]

I am known for my chicken salad. About to share secret with the world....I simmer full fat chicken with onion, celery salt and pepper. SALAD: Shredded Chicken, celery chopped, boiled eggs, small amount finely chopped onion, Hellmans Mayo. SECRET INGREDIENT: The Homemade chicken stock . Enough to make creamy. This prevents using too much mayo and intensities the chicken flavor!

[@auntminervasikler7764]

Ps. Add pepper and adjust salt per taste

[@daynal9594]

When making my dressing for my chicken salad I use Dukes mayo (always), and a little ground dried mustard, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, pinch of basil, lemon juice, a little sour cream, and salt and pepper...if you like Panera's chicken salad...you'll love this.

[@sharonholmes4444]

YESSSSS always "Dukes!" 😋

[@kevinsmith5288]

Duke's is the best, just got some at Food Lion for $3.49. "It's got that tang!"

[@galeprivett5180]

I like pecans and miracle whip in my chicken salad ❤️🙏

[@dartsiwinellis1976]

Thank you for reminding me, gotta get some Dukes today!😍😍😍

[@charitys.3862]

Yours sounds Amazing 👏

[@Mona-wd3dy]

I love dried cranberries and sliced almonds in chicken salad.

[@melaniemonti8115]

I always add a splash of lemon juice, which could help the apples not turn brown, dried cranberries and chopped nuts.

[@vickieharris-hc5jr]

Dill pickles. Relish or Salad cubes😊

[@juanitabrown7998]

Boiled eggs. Couple of tablespoons of sweet pickle relish

[@larrysmith6499]

Only Dukes in chicken and potatoe salad

[@arthurburkhart3710]

Hi Tammy!! I am watching late and as always, am enjoying watching you make delicious looking food!! As many times as I have TRIED to Like Chicken Salad with fruit and onions in it…😟…I just don’t. I boil my chicken while making stock, then use the dark meat for another use, and use the stock to make soup. I shred the white meat, add a small amount of chopped celery, a little parsley, fresh ground pepper, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of dill pickle juice, Kraft Mayonnaise (enough to bring it all together but not make it runny), then toss it with a sprinkle of slivered almonds. No fruit..no onions. I love this on croissants, spread with a little bit of mayonnaise and some leaf lettuce. Most of the time I use this chicken salad to make stuffed tomatoes. I serve the stuffed tomato (half of a tomato cut almost through, into 8 wedges, then add a scoop of the Chicken Salad on top), with a 1/2 cup scoop of cottage cheese next to it, plus a couple slices of fresh cantaloupe next to the cottage cheese, and then a 1/2 cup scoop of homemade potato salad with freshly ground pepper on top. Around the stuffed tomato, I surround it with 6 club crackers. It is a very pretty and delicious summer lunch plate. Sometimes I will make homemade Cream of Asparagus Soup , enough for everyone to have a one cup serving. About 32 years ago this luncheon plate and soup was served at a bridal shower that I attended. It was SO GOOD and VERY PRETTY! I have made this ever since that day! It all was served with watermelon punch that was to-die-for-good!! I call this my Tea Party Luncheon! 😚

[@jaa4742]

I don't put pickle juice in my chicken salad, but make my cole slaw now with just pickle juice, mayo, and pepper. I will also use dill relice and juice in tuna salad.

[@ruthcantu4906]

I've used cranberries in mine for the little sweet.

[@joancashio8288]

I add 3 finely chopped hard boiled eggs to the chicken mix. Also, prefer Hellman's mayo. Add about 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish. My favorite sandwich!

[@Joanne88346]

Gotta have the eggs and sweet relish!!

[@carolmixon6422]

Hellmann's is the only mayo that I ever use in my chicken salad or my potato salad.

[@rhondasheridan7049]

​@@carolmixon6422my daughter brought me some Dukes from GA.. I couldn't wait for it to be gone lol. I love my Hellmans

[@xicanavida1559]

Yes indeed same here and all veggies and fruit must be chopped tiny

[@chuckcox8490]

I agree on Hellmans

[@robertpollock8617]

I would like to try your mayo choice..I too use garlic powder dried mustard and scallion greens sometimes too

[@leahwhiteley5164]

Slivered almonds and finely cut up cheddar cheese and a little ranch dressing. Maybe some chipped dill pickles.

[@robertpollock8617]

Lemon pepper makes difference..Paul Deens son’s trick!

[@butterfly0033]

Yummy 😋 and I agree, the green chopper is the best kitchen tool I’ve ever had. Be careful is right, those blades are sharp.

[@xicanavida1559]

What I do is add to what you used... granulated garlic, Hellman’s,boiled eggs, grapes not apples and I love to eat it on croissant, white loaf bread and ritz

[@sharonpothast6350]

I use dried cranberries. It’s great

[@YaYaPaBla]

I wish I could still find Kraft Homestyle Mayo. It’s the only Mayo I actually like in my Cole slaw or potato salad.

[@rhondasheridan7049]

Google it... it'll tell you who's got it.

[@Hookedonfaith-akasandramoody]

I like grapes and pecans/walnuts best in my chicken salad served in warm croissants. I have tried it with apple and that’s really good too, but grapes are my favorite.

[@robertpollock8617]

I add dried apricots and sweetened cranberries and almonds..of course what you did too..plus a dab of horseradish sauce in the mayo…only Dukes mayo! I have also used KFC chicken breasts.

[@mildredlackey1938]

I always put sweetened dried cranberries in my chicken salad . It taste good and looks so pretty too,

[@vickidolph1581]

I make a really great chicken salad with seedless grapes, finely chopped celery and chopped pecans! I always put the, on mini croissants and they are soooo delicious!!!

[@rt3box6tx74]

I've been using Crasins since I was keeping them in the pantry for my grandkids. I pop a cup of water in the microwave, bring to a boil, then add the crasins to plump up while I get everything else ready. I add them last after draining. Reserve the liquid in case your finished product is too dry. I like the celery, onions and apple chopped ultra fine. I like to add a little celery salt even though I have celery. When I'm being fancy I add some poppyseed. If it's not sweet enough I add a few drops of liquid Stevia and refrigerate a few hours (if I get it made in advance). Sometimes I've added a dash or two of cayenne pepper, even cinnamon. I know your Chx Salad is top notch Tammy, just like everything you cook. Edit: Oh, I forgot the juice of one small lemon.

[@louisesheppard3779]

Okay Tammy, are you watching me! The last couple things you have made, I had just made the same thing! 😂 I’m still snacking on my rotisserie chicken salad. 😆♥️

[@QIKWIA]

😋Looks so good Ms. Tammy!👌🏾 I would love this for my dinner tonight...a big plateful😂 Thanks for the delicious recipe..👊🏾

[@bypassgirl]

That looks delicious and you look GREAT!!!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Thank you 😋

[@mikeylorene]

I was raised on ranch farm cooking in Texas. Years ago I went to a deli that had the most delicious chicken salad I ever tasted. Along with the usual chicken salad ingredients, It had halved green grapes in it, and the real kicker-unsalted peanut halves. The top was sprinkled with paprika.

[@joanndeland7969]

Looks delicious 😋 l would like to have it on Crosiannt roll .

[@angiemurphy3693]

Pecans and sweet dried cranberries

[@briancooper4120]

Bread and butter pickles diced.

[@childeharold3550]

I have to have boiled eggs, pickles, and some lemon juice for freshness.

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

Sometimes I use marinated artichoke hearts...

[@maureensalinas8240]

Sour cream, parsley, chives

[@user-gm6xc4mz6i]

Chicken breast only cooked in stock with poultry seasoning, Dukes mayonnaise, celery, onion, celery seeds, pickle relish, salt, pepper and a splash of lemon juice

[@sharonholmes4444]

🎆 "Savory" 🎆 I couldn't find it anywhere except Amazon. A little bit goes a long way. It's a must for turkey/chicken dressing. 😋

[@virginiamesko6369]

My family loves chopped apple in tuna salad.

[@marywatkins6798]

I love chicken salad, and make it often at home. I aways add chopped onion and use real mayo but I don't care for chopped apples, grapes, or nuts in mine. My secret ingredient is so simple and one I always have in the fridge: several splashes of dill pickle juice from the jar. It is cheap and gives that pickle/relish flavor. Seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

[@Mamabrown4262]

Looks yummy I add pineapple crushed it’s really good 😊

[@lindawhite5006]

My chicken salad I use canned chicken. I grate the onion, add sweet pickle relish, boiled (chopped) eggs and miracle whip. My husband likes it sweet, me, not so much so I add a few sprinkles of salt and pepper on mine portion. Delicious!

[@katherynkennedy5881]

Cosmic crisp apples, red grapes or raisins and silvered almonds.

[@pookiegmg.m.1379]

I like 1tbls. Dijon mustard mixed with the mayo a tbls. Of sugar

[@henriettamoore9352]

Look good I use two rotisserie chicken boils egg mayo dukes lil sugar and honey mustard and reg mustard and lemon juice onion and celery and sweet salad picker salt and pepper and some time ❤ grapes it is good let set in the Refrigerator for hr or two hrs put on croissant, bread, or regular bread, toast bread with some chips or a salad

[@rosegrant1705]

When I peel a onion, I take off the first outer layer of the onion because it can be tougher. I do a keto friendly chicken salad by using dill relish instead of sweet relish and adding dill as well. You should try granulated garlic and onion as well instead of raw onions. I do not add anything that is sweet, it adds carbs back. I find Hellmans is the best out of others I tried. Your a great cook.

[@phyllisstrider2998]

I put chopped boiled eggs and sweet pickle relish in mine. Thats all.

[@patc.318]

We enjoy dried cranberries in our chicken salad. We've use a combination of different apples and sliced almonds as well. No secret ingredient per se, but there are never any leftovers! My crew will peel off a leaf of romaine lettuce and make a chicken salad wrap rather than using a tortilla athough soft tortillas work well, too, for a hungry crew! LOL Thanks for another video, y'all!

[@bruceezell4017]

Now mama didn't put boiled eggs in hers but we do. We like it. SHE DID however put apple in hers.

[@karlablank6774]

Pecans, dill relish and tarragon!

[@arianemariano3807]

I splash of lemon juice brightens the flavor! 🍋 👍🏼

[@char8a291]

Chopped mango & pickled jalapeños with Duke’s mayo, a bit of apricot preserves, splash of yellow mustard, toasted pecans, onion, celery, & boiled eggs chopped fine, red pepper flakes, pepper and cilantro.

[@carolspencer9396]

I haven't seen you in a while. Love you too ❤. I like your chicken salad recipe , especially the honey crisp apples sound very good. I have a tendency to put raspberry preserve on stuff. I am wondering how a pinch of that might taste in that chicken salad? Hmmmm?

[@mimirose71]

There is nothing that you make that is disappointing Tammy. Everything looks so delicious! 😘

[@belindadunne4312]

My Momma puts pecans, curry powder, and apple cider vinegar in her chicken salad. It's so good on croissants! 👍🏻👍🏻😋

[@misslady1629]

It looks wonderful! My secret ingredient is ground pecans..

[@brendavanzant5246]

Dukes and cranberries😋

[@kimberlyjillett586]

Yes,,, THAT is so very true..

[@mandiehague3569]

I dont put any sweet things like the apples or grapes. I usually add dill relish and a bit of brown or yellow mustard.

[@bparker2872]

When I make a sandwich of chicken salad I put sliced tomato, lettuce a little bacon. That's a meal!

[@BizzyLady3]

Love the bloopers! 🤣

Thank you folks. I like the idea of the pecans. Yum.

Hi, Barbara from North Carolina here.

[@bparker2872]

I never put dill weed or onions when I make chicken salad, but always put them into tuna salad. I buy only Hellman's or Blue Plate. ❤

[@cindyburst]

Dukes number one; blue plate number two.

[@lyndawhite5171]

1. Hellmans 2. Dukes I’ve not tried Blue Plate, isn’t offered in my area, that I know of. But, never, ever Miracle Whip!

Good afternoon Tammy and Chris. Hope you are having a great day ❤️

[@cassiedawnlala]

Crushed pineapple is a yummy something sweet in tnis salad!!❤

[@tedrudiselle7802]

Sweet pickle relish puts it over the top, for my taste.

[@maryloumckown9941]

A large drained can of mandarin oranges. Along with celery, onion, salt, pepper, mayo to the chicken.

[@northgirlgonesouth]

Celery, onion and dried cranberries. Simple but delicious.

[@jeannetaylor2217]

Hi Tammy, I like to add Crasins and sliced almonds. It’s delicious. Or I add sliced seedless red grapes and almonds. I’ve never tried apples but that sounds good too. I always use miracle whip in all my salad’s. I’m a way north Illinois resident all my life and most people I know use miracle whip. I think it’s all in what you were raised with. 💕🙏🙏

[@Julie-u2z]

Thanks for this recipe!! Rotisserie chicken is delicious and convenient!!🩷

[@eddiealbert4074]

Try a little. Very little tarragon

[@marcellaharris4281]

I like to add room temperature cream cheese. Cut back on some of the mayo.

Yes! Cream cheese makes it so yummy.

People only use Duke's because they haven't tried Blue Plate. I like sweet chicken salad. Honey, apples, grapes, sweet relish, sometimes even a little Karo syrup do the trick, and always pecans and a little Dijon mustard.
