Q. Just browsing for some yummy chicken salad recipes. Good enough to go on a croissant with some romaine lettuce thanks!:)
A. Chicken Salad http://video.about.com/southernfood/How-to-Make-Chicken-Salad-With-Apples-and-Cranberries.htm
If you're looking for a light and healthy dish that's packed with flavor, you can't go wrong with this recipe, so grab the following ingredients and let's get started:
Ingredients
3 cups of diced, cooked chicken
¼ cup of dried cranberries
½ cup of diced celery
3 tablespoons of finely chopped red onion
½ cup of diced apple
¼ cup of chopped walnuts
4 to 6 tablespoons of mayonnaise
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon of curry powder
¼ teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of black pepper
Romaine lettuce leaves or croissants
Mix Ingredients for Chicken Salad
If you tend to like sweeter foods, then red delicious apples are the way to go; however, if you'd prefer your chicken salad to be a bit more tart, then green apples are just the ticket. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cranberries, celery, onion, apple, and walnuts and give everything a good mixing. While freshly grilled chicken is ideal in this dish, you can save yourself a little time by using pre-cooked and pre-diced chicken, which is available in the refrigerated section of most supermarkets. We now want to mix together the mayonnaise, salt and pepper, lemon juice, and curry powder in a small bowl.
Mix Mayo With Chicken and Serve Chicken Salad
Once done, add the mayonnaise mixture to the large bowl containing the chicken and stir everything together. I like to serve chicken salad on croissants, but if you're trying to cut back on calories, it's also delicious served on crisp romaine leaves. Be sure to place any leftovers in the fridge in a sealed tupperware container. Chicken salad with apples and cranberries is a quick and easy recipe that's great for an impromptu lunch on the patio, or a light and low-calorie dinner for the family. You really can't go wrong with a dish that's simple, healthy, and loaded with flavor.

You can now buy bags of different flavors of precooked rice that you put into your microwave for a minute or two. These are on shelves at the grocery store. We like the chicken flavored best of all. Have a clerk help you find them.
