Sheree's Homemade Cooking Made Easy

I have to admit that I am really picky when it comes to homemade chicken salads but this is a chicken salad recipe that I came up with that is simple to make and my family loves. It doesn’t use a lot of ingredients but sometimes I think simple is better. You will need the following ingredients:

Recipe:

2 chicken breast ( I trim mine really well before cooking)

1/4 cup of a red onion, diced

1/4 cup of sliced almonds

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

salt and pepper to taste

Start by boiling the chicken in water until it is done. You can use the Instant Pot or Crockpot to do this too. Take the chicken out of the water and let it cool. In the meantime dice up the red onion in pretty small pieces.

Shred up the chicken into small pieces and add the onion, almonds, mayonnaise, heavy whipping cream and salt and pepper to a bowl and mix really well. Refrigerate until cold. Enjoy!

We like to serve this on toasted bread or crackers. Whichever way we choose to eat this chicken salad my family and friends enjoy it. It is also a much requested request for showers and parties.

Note: The reason I always trim my chicken before cooking is so that it is easy to shred up and I don’t have to worry about finding the fat afterwards. Also, this is easily shredded using a hand mixer. It only takes seconds to shred.
