Tea Room Chicken Salad Recipe

Tea Room Chicken Salad Recipe Rating 5

The secret to our chicken salad is just plain fresh (not frozen) chicken, cooked in water with a little salt. We usually make 20 pounds at a time, but our cook, Dorothy, and I have cut down the recipe quantity.—Mary Henry, Knoxville, Tennessee

Tip

New Use for Ice Cream Cones

Have picky eaters at your house? Try serving chicken, egg or tuna salad in an ice cream cone instead of between bread. Kids love this crunchy lunch that resembles dessert. —Suzanne M., Lyons, Georgia

Don't be fooled by how plain and simple this recipe seems - this salad is creamy and elegant! I don't what it is that makes it taste so great, it just does! This is my favorite way to make chicken salad now. I collect chicken salad recipes, and this one now leads the list! Definitely a "Blue Ribbon" in my book.
