A delicious way to use up leftover chicken to enjoy on a cold day. Served hot, this easy salad is made with tender chicken, celery, green pepper and slivered almonds enveloped in a creamy flavourful dressing.
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup onions, minced
2/3 cup green pepper, chopped
3 cups celery, chopped
1/4 cup butter
4 cups chicken, cooked, cut into chunks
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup almonds, slivered
Salt and pepper, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Add butter to a skillet over medium heat and melt. Stir in onions, green peppers and celery. Saute for 5 minutes.
2.Stir in cooked chicken, lemon juice and salt. Reduce heat to low and cover for 5 minutes.
3.Remove skillet from heat and stir in mayonnaise and almonds. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
Notes:
I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, but any cut of chicken would be fine.
