My mom really likes the DC Chicken Salad at Corner Bakery, so I came up with a copy that tastes as good as the real thing. Enjoy!

Time 8h45m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root
1 star anise pod
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup mayonnaise
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch paprika
½ teaspoon honey
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced apples
¼ cup diced red onion
¼ cup chopped raisins
¼ cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root

Steps:

  • Place the 1-inch piece of ginger and star anise in a pot of water over medium-heat and bring to a boil. Add chicken to the water. Lower heat to medium-low; simmer until chicken is no longer pink the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a plate to cool. Once cool to the touch, dice into bite-sized pieces.
  • Make a dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, salt, pepper, paprika, and honey; set aside.
  • Combine the diced chicken, celery, apple, onion, raisins, walnuts and 2 teaspoons minced ginger in a bowl. Drizzle dressing into the chicken mixture; stir until pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for mayonnaise. I think it would be better with Greek yogurt.

I've made this chicken salad recipe several times now, and it's always a hit. My friends and family love it.

This chicken salad is a winner! It's creamy, flavorful, and packed with protein. I used a rotisserie chicken for convenience, but you could also use leftover chicken from a roasted or grilled chicken.
