This is my ALL TIME favorite Chicken Salad recipe that I have to credit the Betty Crocker cookbook for. I have had that darn thing for years and never bothered to use it for cooking until I got married and figured I'd better conform.
Here's what you'll need:
1 Rotisserie chicken picked clean and chopped up
1/2 cup celery (diced or minced, whichever you prefer, this usually works out to be 2 full stalks)
1/2 cup cucumber (diced or minced, whichever you prefer, works out to be a half of a cuc.)
1/4 cup green onions (minced up, usually works out to be 3 full onions.)
Sauce: 2/3 cup of real mayo, 2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice, and 2 Tablespoons of Tarragon, (1 Tablespoon if you don't really like Tarragon. Actually, if you don't like Tarragon, you won't be making this so it doesn't matter:)
Add your dry ingredients into bowl; Chicken, Celery, Cucs, and Onions. Mix your wet ingredients together. Make sure you crush your Tarragon to release all of those flavors. Blend your sauce together, now add to your dry ingredients. Let this marry in the fridge for atleast a few hours before serving if not overnight. I love love love to serve this with toasted sourdough bread, either whole, or in Finger Sandwhich form. Toasted White bread or Croissants are fabulous too. I mean after all, you could eat this with healthy Rye bread and such, but please do realize that if you made this recipe with real mayo, you aren't exactly cuttin the calories so go for the gusto!
