We used the leftover chicken salad on
crackers as tonight’s dinner appetizer. The salad would be equally good on a
biscuit, a croissant or sandwiched between two slices of bread.
Fried Chicken Salad
2 cold fried chicken breasts, cut into small pieces (about 3
cups)
About ½ cup
mayonnaise, more or less
3 to 4 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
Dash or two of hot sauce, such as Tabasco®
2 stalks celery, finely diced
¼ cup finely chopped onions
3 to 4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 to 3 tablespoons minced chives
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Add chopped chicken and remaining ingredients to a large
bowl. Mix, adding more mayonnaise or mustard as needed. Taste and adjust
seasonings as needed.
- Serve sandwiches between Pecan-Maple Waffles (recipe follows), biscuits, croissants or bread slices, or spread on crackers.
Pecan-Maple Waffles
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
7-Up or milk, a little less than a cup — I used 7-Up
2 cups baking mix, homemade or commercial
1 egg, beaten
¼ to ⅓ cup chopped pecans
- Pour maple syrup into a 1-cup measure; add either 7-Up or milk to equal 1 cup
- Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and blend.
- Bake on a waffle iron, according to manufacture’s directions.
