CLASSIC CHICKEN SALAD
This crowd-pleasing recipe for classic chicken salad is perfect for sandwiches, salads, and snacking. Bits of celery, relish, and fresh herbs add texture and flavor while Dijon mustard and lemon juice add a tangy bite. Enjoy it just as it is, or add nuts or fruits. My favorite way to eat this is on toasted wheat bread with lettuce and tomato alongside a healthy serving of potato chips!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Season chicken evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and onion powder. Place in the prepared baking dish and cover tightly with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear and chicken shreds easily, about 1 hour 20 minutes; don't overcook. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove from the oven, uncover, and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Reserve any accumulated chicken broth.
- Prepare dressing while chicken cools. Combine 1 cup mayonnaise, sour cream, relish, green onions, parsley, Dijon, lemon juice, dill, and remaining salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix until well combined.
- Break chicken into large pieces and place in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3 to 5 times to shred chicken to desired consistency.
- Transfer chicken to a bowl. Add celery and pour dressing over top; toss to coat. If more moisture is desired, add reserved broth or more mayonnaise.
- Cover and chill for at least 2 hours (or up to 2 days) before serving. Stir well before serving.

CREAMY ORIENTAL CHICKEN SALAD DRESSING
This recipe is delicious and our absolute favorite dressing! My girlfriend shared this not-so-typical Chinese Chicken Salad dressing years ago. It has a creamier texture compared to the oil and vinegar style. For my family, salads are NOT their first choice. But with this dressing, they will eat their salads down to the last...

Steps:
- 1. Combine ingredients in blender. Mix well (don't over blend - it will get really thick because of the sesame seeds). Pour over salad (but, I usually keep it to the side so that everyone can put as much or as little on their salad as they want.) Refrigerate unused dressing.
- 2. Salad Suggestions: • Lettuce - I like to use romaine but you can use anything you want. To make it more 'oriental' you may want to add a bag of pre-packaged cabbage mix or bean sprouts. • Carrots - julienne - I use prepackaged sliced carrots to save time. Cut the carrots into julienne slices and soak it in iced water to help perk them up and add a bit more crunch to them. If you don't like carrots, consider red, orange and/or yellow bell peppers. • Cooked chicken/fish/turkey - I use a fork to flake store-bought (like Costco/Sam's Club/Safeway Rotisserie or Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken. I also use leftover turkey after Thanksgiving. Or if you don't like poultry, we also love pan fried salt and peppered fish filets - cooled and cubed. • Char Siu (Chinese sweet pork) - sliced in strips (optional) • Crunchy Won ton chip strips • Cashews or Peanuts - Place the quantity that you want to use in a Ziplock bag, seal it and gently use a meat tenderizing hammer (or a regular hammer) to break it into smaller pieces. This saves time chopping. • Chinese parsley, Green onion - chopped - I usually put this to the side and let everyone add their own if they want it. You may also want to consider adding something sweet like: • Fresh fruit - Very thin slices of apple/pear, cubes of papaya/mango • Dried fruit - Raisins (1 tiny box per serving), cranberries and/or blueberries
SALAD DRESSING CHICKEN
We were getting ready to move again one year and I was trying to find creative ways to use up some of the condiments in our fridge. I created this recipe and we have enjoyed it ever since. Of course you can use any flavor salad dressing you prefer, but we like it with honey dijon. Please note that this recipe calls for chicken breasts with bones-boneless chicken would cook much quicker and might dry out so please don't be tempted to substitute boneless. If you aren't watching your calories, you may leave the skin on, but we like the way this turns out without skin. You may also sub cracker crumbs for the bread crumbs, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 F.
- Spray a roasting rack and shallow roasting pan with nonstick spray or grease lightly with some oil.
- Remove skin from chicken, rinse well, and pat dry.
- Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of each piece of chicken well with the salad dressing (there should be a little left over).
- Set breasts, meaty sides up, onto the sprayed roasting rack and sprinkle with rosemary.
- If you like, season to taste with a little seasoned salt& pepper.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs on top of the chicken (or you can dump the crumbs in a dish and roll the chicken in the crumbs if you like more coating-this may require addtl crumbs).
- Bake 20 minutes, then flip pieces over using a pair of tongs and brush with some more salad dressing (if you chose to roll your chicken in the crumbs, then skip the extra salad dressing).
- Bake another 40 minutes or until cooked through.
- Cook time will vary based on the actual weight of your chicken pieces-allow 15 minutes per pound plus 10-15 extra minutes to calculate the total cooking time (this includes before and after flipping the chicken).

WHAT DRESSING GOES WITH CHICKEN SALAD? (16 DRESSINGS)
From hangryhanna.com
- Balsamic Vinaigrette. Balsamic vinaigrette is a classic dressing that pairs perfectly with chicken salad, as it’s made from balsamic vinegar and oil. See also What Cheese Goes with Beets?
- Caesar Dressing. Caesar dressing is also made from olive oil and balsamic vinegar, but instead of using lemon juice for flavoring like in balsamic vinaigrette, it uses lemon zest or lemon juice to give it a tangy taste.
- Blue Cheese Dressing. Blue cheese dressing is another great option for pairing with chicken salad because its sharp taste complements the more mellow flavors of chicken and mayonnaise-based dressings.
- Honey Mustard Dressing. This dressing pairs well with chicken salad because it has a strong kick of flavor—it’s not too sweet or too tart, but it still packs a punch.
- Italian Dressing. Italian dressing is one of the most popular dressings in America, so it’s no wonder that it goes so well with chicken salad! The combination of garlic and oregano give this dressing an earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with the crunchy texture of chopped up veggies and greens in your chicken salad bowl.
