At least a triple batch of my chicken salad is needed to satisfy hungry relatives at our summer family reunion. It's the most requested recipe I make. This salad is so versatile, it can be scooped onto a bed of lettuce or stuffed into a pita. Ingredients:
3 cups pineapple juice |
1/3 cup soy sauce |
3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts |
2 cups water |
1/2 cup each chopped green pepper, red onion and celery |
1-1/2 cups mayonnaise |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt |
10 lettuce leaves |
10 sandwich rolls, split |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine pineapple juice and soy sauce. Pour 1-1/2 cups into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
2. Drain and discard marinade from chicken. In a large saucepan, combine the chicken, water and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Drain; cool slightly. Shred chicken.
3. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, green pepper, onion and celery. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and seasonings. Spoon over chicken mixture; gently stir to coat. Refrigerate until serving. Serve on lettuce-lined rolls. Yield: 10 servings.
