When my sister let me borrow The Magnolia Table cookbook from Joanna Gaines, I was super excited to see the classic chicken salad recipe inside. Although the recipe we're giving you involves cooking the chicken, this Kim's Chicken Salad recipe is one of my favorite ways to use up leftover roasted or poached chicken, or the last of the Thanksgiving turkey. In this Waldorf-style salad, walnuts, grapes, and apple give a sweet crunch to the chicken. I served this chicken salad a couple of ways at my house.
Kim's Chicken Salad instructions
- Mix together in no particular order, put on your favorite bread for sandwiches, stuff a tomato or an avocado, serve open faced after grilling under the broiler on toast with sharp cheddar cheese..
The girls in the house ate it in large leafy green lettuce leaves. Landen preferred to tuck it in between two bread slices and call it a sandwich and Brad just devoured it straight from the bowl with tortilla chips. While Kim prefers her salad as it comes on the menu, Khloé steps hers up a notch by subbing in organic chicken and adding avocado. I struck a happy medium by ordering with the non-organic chicken. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
