    Does anyone have good chicken salad recipes you're willing to share? I'm trying to fix meals without having to use the oven -- TOO HOT here in Texas.

    I have one that always gets rave reviews from everyone that eats it.

    Chicken, either fresh or canned
    a couple of boiled eggs
    onions (optional)
    black pepper
    mayonaise to make creamy
    pickels (optional)
    and the 'secret recipe'.....chopped pecans! After all we are in Texas!!!
    Mix all ingredients together and chill.
    EMJOY!

    Chicken, walnuts, green grapes, pineapple tidbits, celery (optional) and mayo or salad dressing. Original recipe from the late 60s called for serving in a pieshell, but I prefer it on a plate with a muffin.

    My favorite recipe uses turkey breast, but , you can use chicken of course!
    Two breast of turkey or 6 chicken breast
    cooked and chopped or diced.
    1 cup or more of whipped salad dressing( I use almost 2 cups)
    3 Tbsp. of poppy seeds
    2 cups of halved grapes
    1 cup coarsely chopped, roasted pecans
    salt and pepper to taste
    Serve on shredded lettuce with mixed tropical fruit and a pickle spear with saltine crackers. YUM!
    Going to cook my chicken right now , having this for lunch tomorrow :thumbup:

    I take chicken and boil it, then I chop it, then I add chopped celery (not too much), then I add seedless green grapes and pecans and Hellmanns mayonnaise. It is called fruited chicken salad.
