I can’t tell you how many sandwiches I’ve eaten from The Picnic Café in Nashville, TN, over the last 10 ½ years. Mostly, I order their low-fat chicken salad sandwiches. This is not the low-fat version, thought I am sure it could be made by just substituing the mayo. This chicken salad is absolutely delicious.
So you can imagine how happy I was when The Picnic Café’s owner, Kathy Bonnet, shared the chicken salad recipe with the Tennessean. I think you will enjoy it as much as I have. It’s delicious and a snap to make.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 6-8
Ingredients
3 cups cooked white chicken breast, chopped
¾ cup celery, chopped
1 tbsp parsley, chopped
½ tsp celery seed
½ tsp black pepper
salt to taste
1 cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise (do not substitute)
Directions
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Chill. Serve as a sandwich spread or as a salad on lettuce or stuffed into a tomato.
Note: The Picnic Café steams the chicken in a convection oven. This leaves the chicken fat-free and tender and is one of the reasons everyone loves Picnic Chicken Salad.
I use Costco rotisserie chicken.
ReplyDeleteI'm also thinking of trying Hattie B's spicy chicken tenders.
