i made chicken salad. wasn't really expecting a lot, but i figured i'd give it a shot. and since we're trying (TRYING) to eat more on the "only real food" bandwagon, chicken salad seemed like an easy way to start. i mean common, it's chicken salad. not rocket science, right?
WRONG!
there are many subtle sciences into making chicken salad. get just one wrong, and you have crap. and no one likes to eat crap. but the chicken salad i made was sublime. it was wonderment. it was damn tasty. and seeing as the only thing i seem to have time to blog is recipes, here goes:
The Best Chicken Salad You Will Ever Eat In Your Life
one whole roasted chicken, de-boned
2/3 c mayo
2 tbl mustard
2 tbl lemon juice
6 cherry tomatoes fresh from the garden - quartered
5 basil leaves - chopped
hand full of fresh cut chives - chopped
3-4 Thai basil leaves - chopped
1 jalapeno - chopped
i shredded my chicken with the help of Helga (my Kitchenaid), and just dumped in everything else in order and let Helga do the mixin'. pop it in the fridge for an hour or so to get nice and chilled, then spread a spoonful or so onto some sourdough bread. delish.
