Yesterday I had a really fun baby shower....well it was for 2 sweet mommies at once so I guess it was a double baby shower. The mom's were showered with love, attention and all things cute and baby!
I on the other hand I was showered with so many asking for the recipe for the chicken salad croissant sandwiches I served. I have to say it is my favorite. I like it on a croissant...
Maybe add some crispy lettuce....
Or if cutting back on the bread I just have it on a bed of lettuce....
I hope you enjoy it as much as the ladies did yesterday!
Cricket's Chicken Salad with Grapes
5 lbs. cooked chicken breast, chopped
7 stalks of celery, diced
2 bunches of green onions, diced (less or none is ok if you don't like green onions)
1 lb. seedless grapes (red or green)
Mix together and set aside; make dressing.
Dressing:
3 cups mayonnaise
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
3 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. celery seed
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix dressing together and pour over chicken mixture.
Stir until mixed well.
Chill and right before you serve mix in 1 lb. cashews and (optional of course if you don't like nuts)
3 cups chinese rice sticks. ( I usually just use potato sticks) They are like crunchy potato chips cut in little tiny strips that come in a can. I usually find them with the nuts or the potato chip isle in the grocery store. If you can't find them ask someone in the store about them.

ohhh sounds great! I find I cant eat chicken salad except for the warm weather though,something weird about being in Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteI bet the soy sauce and the celery seed ramp it up a little bit. Joni
ReplyDeleteYou are so good!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Cricket I've been thinking about those sandwiches ever since the shower on Saturday. I'm excited to try this. I saw the container of potato sticks on the counter and wondered what in the world those were for. I didn't realize they were in the chicken salad! Next time you make the chicken salad I will be happy to come by for a quick taste test. ;)
