Junior's White Meat Chicken Salad




Source of Recipe


Junior's Remembering Brooklyn with Recipes and Memories from Its Favorite Restaurant


Recipe Introduction


Junior's Chicken Salad has chunks of real white meat chicken that's juicy and tender-not the finely chopped or ground-up kind. The chicken is sprinkled with fresh lemon juice to keep its white color. And the dressing is not just mayonnaise-it has sour cream that makes it extra-smooth and creamy. Even the flavors that Junior's uses are different-fresh dill, a hint of garlic, and a spicy bite from Dijon mustard.


List of Ingredients




Makes 6 cups salad

For the salad:
Celery leaves (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 pound boneless skinless chi ken breasts (about 2 large whole breasts or 4 large halves)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup diced celery
1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill

For the mustard cream dressing:
3/4 cup Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise (not the light variety)
1/3 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
.

Recipe



To cook the chicken, fill a large saucepan half full with water. Add a few celery leaves, if you wish, plus the salt and white pepper, and bring to a boil overnight heat. Slide in the chicken breasts, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken turn opaque and the juices are no
longer pink, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a colander with a slotted spoon, and rinse with cold water. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and cut into 3/4-inch chunks (you need 5 cups).

Place the chicken in a medium-sized bowl and sprinkle with the lemon juice and toss well. Add the celery and dill and toss again.

Mix all of the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl. Spoon the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until all of the chicken and celery are well coated. This salad's great for making sandwiches on thick slices of white of Challah Bread, or simply serve as a salad on curly
lettuce leaves. Refrigerate any leftovers.
