- 1 large stalk of celery finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 pound of chicken tenderloins yielding about 2 cups
- shredded chicken if using succulent rotisserie or tender chicken breast
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 3/4 tablespoons of Duke’s creamy mayonnaise
- 1/4 tablespoon of diced apples
- A hint of fresh pineapple precisely diced for a burst of tropical zest
- A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- salt to taste
- 1/4 tablespoon of plump grapes
If using tenderloins, cook them thoroughly until they're tender. Allow them to cool, then shred the chicken into beautiful strands. If using pre-cooked rotisserie or chicken breast, shred or chop them finely to yield about 2 cups.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Duke’s creamy mayonnaise, fragrant onion powder, aromatic garlic powder, a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, and a touch of salt to taste. Blend these ingredients well to create a flavorful base for your chicken salad.
Add the finely diced celery, crisp diced apples, halved plump grapes, and precisely diced fresh pineapple into the bowl with the seasoned mayonnaise. Mix these fruits and vegetables thoroughly into the mayonnaise to create a colorful and aromatic mixture.
Gently fold the shredded or chopped chicken into the mayo and fruit/vegetable mixture. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the flavorful dressing and mixed well with the fruits and vegetables.
For optimal flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the Fruity Fran Chicken Salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Once chilled, serve your Fruity Fran Chicken Salad on a bed of lettuce, as a sandwich filling, or with crackers for a delightful meal bursting with fruity and savory flavors!
- Opt for fresh, ripe apples, pineapples, and grapes to ensure maximum flavor in your salad.
- Adjust the consistency of the salad by shredding the chicken and dicing the fruits and vegetables to your desired size.
- For an added crunch, sprinkle some chopped almonds or walnuts on top of the salad.
- Enhance the flavor profile of the salad by adding a sprinkle of dried herbs like basil or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a hint of spice.
- Prepare the Fruity Fran Chicken Salad Chick in advance and refrigerate it for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
