CHICKEN SALAD WITH FRESH PEACHES



Chicken Salad With Fresh Peaches image

What a unique and fresh twist on chicken salad. Mixing mayo and sour cream create a yummy dressing. We never thought to add fresh peaches to chicken salad and we were in for a wonderful surprise. The peaches are sweet and mixed with the cucumbers give this salad a fresh feel. There are just enough red onions to add a bite but not...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
3 peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
1/2 c red onion, diced*
1 c almonds, slivered
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/2 c sour cream
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Toast the almonds: Place a single layer of nuts in a skillet. Over medium-low to medium heat, stirring constantly, toast until golden and fragrant. (Be careful not to burn them.) When cool store in an airtight container.
  • 2. Poach the chicken breasts: Add chicken to a large pot of water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for about 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. I like to add a chicken bouillon cube and seasoned salt to my water for extra flavor, but it's not necessary.
  • 3. Drain chicken breasts. When cool, shred (or dice if you prefer).
  • 4. In a bowl, combine mayo, sour cream, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • 5. Add chicken, cucumber, peaches, and onion to the bowl. Mix gently.
  • 6. Chill. When ready to serve, sprinkle toasted almonds on top.
  • 7. * If you don't like the strong flavor of onions in your chicken salad, soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes and drain. This makes the flavor mild.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches. If peaches are not in season, you can use canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well and rinse them before using.
  • To make the chicken salad even more creamy, add a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise or sour cream.
  • If you don't have celery on hand, you can substitute diced carrots or cucumbers.
  • For a tangy twist, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to the chicken salad.
  • Serve the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce or spinach, or use it to fill sandwiches or wraps.

Conclusion:

This creamy chicken salad with peaches is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chicken salad a try!
