Mom’s Homemade Chicken Salad

by Kelley Wilson Filed Under: Easy Main Dishes, Recipes, Salads and Sandwiches 2 Comments

Do you have foods that you remember from your childhood? When you taste them they take you back to when you were little? My Mom used to cookquite a bit and I have great memories of some of the things she used to make. One of my favorite things was her homemade chicken salad. Most people make there's with cubed chicken but hers was smooth and creamy. She would put it on toasted bread and the cold chicken salad on the warm bread was so good for aquick lunch.

 

I can remember watching mom grind the chicken with her mixer. It was really loud. I have not had her chicken salad for years so when I got a grinder attachment for my KitchenAid for Christmas I knew what I wanted to make first! I used the course disk on my grinder to get the right consistency. 

Once your meat is ground you must add it to the other ingredients and mix it up. I use my hands at this point because it is faster and I think it does a better job. 

I've enjoy my homemade chicken salad by itself, on sandwich bread or like I did here with melted cheese on a toasted english muffin. This chicken salad is perfect for showers and teas. It has a smooth consistency with all the flavor and fits perfectly on a cracker, in a piece of endive or on a crostini.
