TOSSED SALAD WITH PINE NUTS
This wonderful 5-ingredient recipe from Alice Tremont in Rochester Hills, Michigan is easy and elegant...with lots of blue cheese flavor and crunch from the pine nuts. Topped with raspberry vinaigrette dressing, it couldn't be much easier to toss together on a busy weeknight or much nicer to serve company. Alice often serves it on special occasions and says it always gets compliments, and that adding grilled chicken breast turns it into a fuss-free and fabulous main dish.

PARSLEY PESTO CHICKEN SALAD WITH PINE NUTS
A summer salad I pulled together--I really wanted basil pesto, but the basil wasn't ready to be picked! Prep time assumes you got a ready-cooked chicken on hand, otherwise add an hour and a half (cook/cool time).

Steps:
- Separate chicken from bones and chop or shred to desired consistency. Salt and pepper if needed.
- In a food processor, blender, or mini prep food processor (best choice) whirl together parsley, garlic, drizzling in olive oil until it is a nice thick liquid consistency. You can add a little water water to make sure it will coat all the chicken--the recipe amounts are general (I kept adding parsley and oil until it seemed like a good amount to me! Sorry for the imprecision). Stir in the cheese, add salt and pepper if needed.
- Toss together the tomatoes with the chicken and lemon juice. Sprinkle the top with the cheese, parlsey and pine nuts (they will tend to get soggy if they are mixed in and left).
- You could probably 'tart this up' a little by mixing in a little dijon to the pesto or even mayonnaise, just a thought, I've not tried it.

CHICKEN BRAISED WITH POTATOES AND PINE NUTS
Margot Henderson is the chef at Rochelle Canteen in Shoreditch, where London's cool kids wait hours to score a garden table for lunch. Her food is mainly English classics, but this one-pot meal - more home cooking than hipster - has hints of Spanish and Portuguese flavor. Except for the sherry vinegar, the seasonings here (bay leaves, cloves, saffron) can be adjusted for your taste and the contents of your spice drawer.

Steps:
- In a Dutch oven large enough to hold the chicken in one layer, heat the olive oil over high until shimmering. Season chicken pieces on the skin side with salt and pepper, then lay them in the pan, skin-side down. Adjust the heat so they sizzle but do not pop or scorch. Cook until skin is deeply browned and comes away easily from the pan, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Add onions, celery and garlic to the fat in the pot, season with salt and cook, stirring until softened, about 5 minutes, scraping up the browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Deglaze with the wine and vinegar. Stir in 1/2 cup water, pine nuts, bay leaves, cloves and saffron (if using). Return the chicken pieces to the pan, and nestle them into the liquid, skin-side up.
- Cover tightly and let cook undisturbed over the lowest possible heat until cooked through, about 45 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, then add more water until the liquid barely covers the potatoes. If in doubt, use less; you can always add more. Cover again and cook another 20 minutes.
- When ready to serve, gently reheat. Taste the cooking liquid and season with salt, pepper and a drop more vinegar if needed. Stir in the kale and simmer, uncovered, until completely cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in butter and parsley and serve, sprinkling each serving with more parsley.

Tips:
- To make the chicken salad more flavorful, use a combination of light and dark meat chicken. Dark meat chicken has more flavor than light meat chicken, so it will help to balance out the overall flavor of the salad.
- Use high-quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is one of the main ingredients in chicken salad, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh, wholesome ingredients.
- Add some crunch to the chicken salad with celery, red onion, and walnuts. These ingredients will add texture and flavor to the salad.
- If you want to make the chicken salad more creamy, add some sour cream or yogurt. This will help to thicken the salad and make it more creamy.
- Season the chicken salad with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the salad.
Conclusion:
Chicken salad is a versatile dish that can be served as a sandwich, on a salad, or as a dip. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a delicious and healthy meal. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a chicken salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
