Here is on from Paula Dean that my wife loves. We just get the store cooked chicken and it workks great





1 (3-pound) chicken


Salt and pepper


1 onion, quartered


2 celery stalks


1 cup chopped celery


4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped


2 teaspoons seasoning salt (suggested: Jane's mixed up Krazy salt)


1/2 cup mayonnaise


1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning


1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


2 to 3 tablespoons chicken stock





Place the chicken along with the salt, pepper, onion, and celery stalks in a large stock pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from pot, cool, and remove skin and bones. Reserve the liquid. Dice the chicken and place in a large bowl. Add the chopped celery, eggs, seasoning salt, mayonnaise, lemon-pepper, pepper, and some reserved stock and mix well.


I am in great need of just a basic chicken salad recipe.?
1/2 cup mayonnaise


1 tablespoon lemon juice


1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


2 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat


1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds


1 stalk celery, chopped





Place almonds in a frying pan. Toast over medium-high heat, shaking frequently. Watch carefully, as they burn easily.


In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper. Toss with chicken, almonds, and celery.



If you want something a bit more spicy, make a sauce with butter and flour and chicken stock/ or milk. When thickened, add a dessertspoon of curry powder, and cook for 5 minutes gently. Slowly fry some onions until they are tender but not brown. Cool all mixtures. When cold combine cooked, sliced chicken, onions and sauce.
