CHICKEN SALAD WITH FRESH HERBS



Chicken Salad With Fresh Herbs image

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 cup finely diced celery stalks, plus 1/4 cup chopped celery leaves
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
3 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs (such as parsley and tarragon)
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 to 3 avocados, halved and pitted (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse the chicken briefly under cool running water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Add the chicken and cook 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and immediately place the pan in the oven. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F when tested with an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, mustard, celery, celery leaves, red onion, herbs, celery seeds and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
  • When the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut it into a 1/2-inch dice, add it to the mayonnaise mixture and mix well. If not serving immediately, transfer to the refrigerator to chill. Serve in avocado halves, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use cooked, shredded chicken that is flavorful and moist. Rotisserie chicken is a great option, or you can boil or bake chicken breasts yourself. Avoid using dry or overcooked chicken, as this will make the salad less enjoyable.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a ton of flavor to chicken salad. Use a variety of herbs, such as parsley, dill, chives, and tarragon. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overmix the salad: Overmixing the salad will make it dry and tough. Mix the ingredients together gently until they are just combined.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together and makes it easier to spread on bread.
  • Get creative with your toppings: You can top chicken salad sandwiches with a variety of ingredients, such as avocado, bacon, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, or tomato.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad sandwiches are a delicious and easy lunch option that can be made ahead of time. They are perfect for picnics, potlucks, or a quick meal on the go. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious chicken salad sandwich that the whole family will enjoy.
