- Mamaw’s Chicken Salad
5 pounds boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
1 can sliced water chestnuts, slightly chopped
1 cup celery, finely diced
1 cup pecan pieces
1 cup Craisins
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
1 cup Miracle Whip
1 cup Real Mayonnaise
Cook the chicken and let it cool completely. Cube the chicken and combine in a large bowl with the chopped water chestnuts, celery, pecans, Craisins, and onions. Stir in the Miracle Whip and mayonnaise. Sometimes, depending on the dryness of the chicken, you’ll need to add a little more of the Miracle Whip and mayo to your taste.
Serve on fresh croissants or toasted bread. 
Your food always looks delicious! The reason I subscribed to your channel is because you DO scrape all of your bowls clean. I find that so satisfying to see. I have always been frustrated at cooking shows that leave so much of the ingredients in the bowls. Yo are also a very tidy, organized cook which I appreciate.
Right?! Like when people prep their stations and have these bowls full of chopped onions and peppers, etc. It drives me bananas when they add those to the dish and you can still see so many stuck to the sides of the bowls!!!
You have a very speaking voice very distant and easy to follow when givinginstructions

I agree with all of this ! ❤😊
I agree. When I finish scrapping my bowls I could almost put them back in the cabinet. I can't wait to try this chicken salad. I can almost taste it now.
Looks wonderful. Grandma recipes are always the best. Thank you for sharing.
You really can’t go wrong when you use a recipe that came from grandmas!
Did they have cranraisins when you where little? Could she have used raisins.🧐 I think I would of like either one. Thanks great recipe!❤
Thank you for being sweet, kind people and sharing family recipes. Nice and so refreshing to see in this crazy world we're living in!
I have saved many of your recipes. Thanks Melissa for putting the recipe with every post. Loved the chicken salad.
You’re very welcome. We are so grateful you are watching.
That is one delicious looking plate. Melissa you are one lucky lady to have such a great cook. Thank you as always for sharing ☺️
I know! It was a great lunch.
Delicious. I make it the same, without the cranberries. Love it on croissants. BTW, Love , love your St. Jude shirt. ❤️🙏🏼.
I love chicken salad! I’ve found it helpful to toast my pecans and sprinkle them on top of each serving so they don’t absorb liquid (leftovers). I like mine sweet too and add some honey to my Hellman’s mayo. Everyone can make this their own with ingredients they like. 😊 Yours looks delicious! I love how food brings sweet memories of our loved ones! ❤
We love that about food as well. Some of our greatest memories were made around the dining room table. Thank you very much for watching and for your feedback.
Thank you to the both of you. I enjoy the way you combine your love of friends, family, and tradition with your lovely recipes. We have family in Kentucky and it’s it’s one of our favorite places. The regional flavor of your channel gives it great appeal.
We’re so happy to have you watching. Thank you so much.
After finding your videos I have gotten so many recipes to try. You are the best on the internet. God bless.
Well thank you so much for such nice words! We really appreciate that.
My Goodness, that Chicken Salad looks delicious!!!! I will be serving this for our weekend meal. Thank you for teaching me how to look like Tom in the kitchen!!
I like to mix up my salad in a larger bowl. The larger the bowl, the better! It makes mixing the salad much easier and it goes a little faster and it seems like I'm always in a rush, which is not a good thing, but I'm working on it!
My neigbor makes God chicken salad good cook makes good chili renonos
Hi Tom and Melissa, my name is Rose Lillquist I live in Albuquerque New Mexico and I stumbled across your videos and I just looked at your chicken salad recipe and boy does that look yummy I think I’m gonna try it I watch you guys just about every other day, but I know, and I I found your crunchy Salad and the Mexican chicken and oh my God I’m gonna make all of those cause they look so yummy
New viewer here. I have watched a couple videos so far. I like your presentation and ease of explanation of how you (Tom) make and serve your dishes/recipes, plus your neat and clean prep/cooking area. Melissa's video taping is spot-on including close-ups which we all like to see. Looking forward to more.
Awesome, thank you! I really appreciate the nice feedback. Thank you so much for joining our channel and watching our video.
I have to say I have seen many of your recipes and I like them all. Keep cooking!
@@joanneisser5320 thank you so much. We will!
This looks delicious! Thank you for the recipe; I will try this version. Good luck with your channel. I have subscribed.
Thank you so much. We appreciate you subscribing to our channel.
I will add this recipe to my collection of chicken salads. When a popular restaurant chain does nothing but 8-10 varieties of chicken salad, there is always a place for one more! TFS!
We hope you enjoy this one. Thank you for watching.
I am subscribed to several recipe channels. Sometimes I’ll watch recipe videos from other channels too. I’ve never seen anyone do a video recipe for chicken salad.
It’s quite tasty
We are so happy you’ve tried it and we agree - very tasty indeed! Especially on a cold evening like we had tonight.
I am so impressed by your simple cooking that tastes like a $1,000,000 meal!! Thanks for sharing all of your delicious recipes with all of us. I enjoy watching your videos and wonder if you have considered writing a cook book? Thanks from Di in ND USA
You need a shirt that says “That is so good!” 😂
That’s a great idea. I love it!
So happy I found your channel!!! I made your chicken & stuffing casserole!! It was wonderful!!!! Tomorrow I’m making this chicken salad & I can’t wait!! Keep the videos coming!!!! 😊😊
That looks delicious!
Me too!!!!
I love a serious chicken salad, tuna salad and egg salad sandwich and chips are a must.😊
Oh, my Dear Lord! I have been looking for this recipe for about 10 years!! I made it years ago and it was SO good but I lost the recipe! I'm so glad I found your videos!! 😊
We love comments like this! We are so thrilled you've found it. Thank you so much for watching our video. We really appreciate it.
So far I’ve saved every one of your recipes that I’ve seen. This one looks just as great as the others.
I cannot wait to make your chicken salad sandwich recipe. It sounds wonderful. Do you remember Viva Italian dressing? They made the best Italian dressing and I guess there's not any more Viva. I guess they quit making it. Now we do have to use Kraft dressing
My mouth started watering when you put the sa n dwich together. I'm going to have to make some chicken salad now.
I mix Mayo, Miracle Whip, and sour cream in my chicken salad dressing. I make very small batches, so I use equal amounts of the three. My husband liked the taste of the three mixed. My husband's favorite salad dressing is Kraft's Zesty Italian!
LOVE this recipe ! ALL great choices to make this pop on the taste buds !
Absolutely beautiful. My family would everything you fix. I love to watch your channel early in the day,it gives me ideas for family dinners. Thank you Tom and Melissa.
Looks so delicious !
Love all on the plate.❤
This looks wonderful!
I agree! I’ve written to other online cooks to complain about not scraping the bowl!
That chicken salad look WONDERFUL !! (and I knew you could get that big bite of sandwich in your mouth) LOL. Thank you so much for sharing.. God Bless you both..
It was so good. We managed to eat it all in just a few days. Thanks for joining us!
I really want some of that now. I will be making this very soon. Love your videos thanks for sharing them with us.
Tom, I love all your recipes.❤
I love when people enjoy food so much.
Looks SO good! I can eat chicken salad every day! Def making it. New Subscriber ❤
It's one of my favorite meals. We had it again today for lunch, in fact. Pretty easy to put together and we always make enough for two to three meals. We enjoy leftovers. Thank you for joining our channel. We really appreciate it.
LOVE your little “tricks”!!
I just love you guys!! You make me want to come sit at your table. Thank you for all the delicious recipes! And you never skimp on an ingredient and that is another reason why I keep watching!!! Yummmmmm
That plate looked fantastic!
That’s beautiful! I will be trying this for sure ❤Thank you ❤
Looks delicious I will have to try it
What a yummy recipe of grandma. Looks delicious 😋
It’s one of our favorites. Thank you so much for watching.
Why do i have a feeling that you are going to be my new favorite to get recipes from. Thank you for the recipe. I always used grapes but you are right it does get watery the next day. So im steeling the dry cranberry idea from you and your mamaw.😊
Hope you enjoy this. Thank you so much for watching!
Such a delicious way to make a chicken salad and sides to go with it. Thank you for sharing!
Love chicken salad! Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!❤
I’m going to try this, I always use the same ingredients you use with the exception of all white meat (I like it mixed for flavor) and I use apples instead of dried cranberries. Looks delish!
Wow!! That looks delicious!!
YUM YUM I LOVE CHICKEN SALAD THIS IS SUCH A SIMPLE RECIPE THANK YOU!! SO MUCH
Thank you for sharing! I have tried many pasta salads and this one is by far the best!
Beautiful plate!
Love this channel.

Thank you for sharing it with us!
Have a good day!!!

Just found your channel. Absolutely loving it. I love chicken salad on croissants also. Delicious
Thank you so much. We are happy you’re watching our video.
Yum. That looks so good.
It's one of our favorite meals. In fact, we have some in our refrigerator right now!
Thank you so much Melissa , This chicken salad sandwich looks absolutely delightful. I can now see the difference in the hot chicken Salad and the cold salad sandwich. I will definitely be making mamaw's (Tom's) in the next couple of days. 😋
YUMMY
Thanks for giving me this link...
You are super sweet!!
That looks Delicious❤
You and Melissa videos always make me smile.
We are so glad. Thank you so much for watching.
Beautiful plate. I make Suddenly Salad too. I add pimento, Kalamata olives, marinated artichoke hearts
Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes.❤
I love you recipes such yummy stuff
Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s a great tip for cutting the croissants.
What a Yummy looking meal. Thank you, Tom and Melissa for sharing your time and recipes. God bless.
Looks delicious❤
Great idea to mix the Miracle Whip/Mayo half and half. I will probably grate the onion as I don't like biting even small chunks. Lookes delish and will be trying. Thanks
Ty for chicken salad sounds delicious going to make this and love the cranberrys well you called them something else but can't spell it right lol love all your recipes and watching you explain so well bet you both were great teachers❤ GOD Bless
I love watching you cook. You are sure neat and clean.
Thank you so much! We are so happy for you watching our videos.
Looks delicious
Looks amazing and I make mine almost the same as your Memaw does I use apples and grapes and I too use a little more of both to make sure its all coated. I put his on a bed of lettuce and sometimes add boiled eggs in there too. He loves it. Thank You for Sharing your recipe its always fun to see how someone else does it.
What an amazing lunch/dinner. It looks beautiful & delicious, thank you.
It was so nice. We are happy that you watched.
Sour cream added to chicken salad make it so good.
It really does look good I love making salad like this in the summer thanks
Thanks for watching. We really enjoyed our meal.
That plate of food looks so delicious. Especially for a summer meal.
We agree. It’s great for a hot weather. Thank you so much for watching.
Beautiful just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! We really appreciate you for watching the video!
This looks so good
We love it. Thank you so much for watching
you are the first video that I have seen that mixed miracle whip and mayo together. We have been doing that for ever when we make any salad that calls for mayo such as potato salad or tuna noodle salad. Great job
Thank you for the nice feedback. We appreciate it so much.
Looks yummy
Mmm that looks so good! I love chicken salad on croissants!
Me too!! Thank you for watching!
I have been going to Walmart and buying this but now I'm going to try to make it myself. Thank you all for sharing your recipes with us😋🙃
You're so welcome. Thank you so much for watching.
Such a beautiful plate!
I think so too! It’s such a nice meal for the heat of summer, too.
Looks so good you do a good job
Thank you so much for your encouraging words.
I really like this channel as they use ingredients I use and love. In particular, I love Miracle Whip and dislike Real Mayo. The smell of Real Mayo turns me off. I once used Real Mayo as a hair conditioner as I had read that it was great for that. Having mayo on my head for an hour drove me crazy. I couldn't wait to get it off me as it smelled so bad. I didn't do that again. I love cut-up grapes in my chicken salad. I love the crunchiness of celery and know I'd like the water chestnuts. My husband, however, does not like water chestnuts and has them omitted when we order Chinese food. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Okay - I really need to know! Did the Real Mayo (even though you didn't like the smell) do a good job of conditioning your hair? It's just great that I might come away with a beauty secret from this channel, too!
Thank you so much for watching our channel. It's great having you at the table with us.
Love your chicken salad recipe! Looks delicious!
Thank you so much. We really do enjoy it. We hope you do as well.
Looks so delicious and amazing 😍😋
I like this recipe. I am going try this yummy!
It’s very good and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
I made this the other day n my husband n I LOVED it!!!! It was delicious!!! I’m used to adding grapes but I didn’t miss them. God bless!!!! Thank u!!!!!🙏🏽💗🥰👏🏽🌷
I mix half of mayo and miracle whip in most dishes that call for one or the other❤
Perfect beautiful plate!
Thank you 😋
Love yr kitchenand dishes why never see mellisa hi mellisa love you
Looks good
Hello Tom and Melissa, I am enjoying your Videos/Recipes! Thank you for sharing
Glad you like them! We appreciate that you’re watching.
Your food always looks delicious always makes me hungry
Thank you 😋 but sorry about the hunger pangs!
Never had chicken salad like that .I fixed my chicken salad 50lb for our grandson wedding nothing was left .I will try your alway up try something new.
Oh my that’s gonna be on my menu tommorrow 👍
Another winner! And Tom, I so loved watching you take a bite, telling us how good it was! That took it over the top! I love all your adjustments to the recipe and I think I will grate the onion unless it’s vidallia season. Not sure I spelled that right. I have heard you can soak your onions in some vinegar and water for a few minutes before dicing them to get a milder taste. Can’t wait to try this recipe, and I love the sweetness and tang of Miracle Whip so I love that combo plus I will add a teaspoon or two to the dressing before adding to the chicken, a little sour cream to that mixture might taste great too. Cooking is so fun, to add the things we like. I have eaten it with the sliced grapes before, but that does work better if you are just eating it all at one serving, with no leftovers. I prefer to use your motto, fix once eat twice. Thanks again for sharing. I hope everyone else shares any additions they add to this recipe. Blessings! ❤
Thank you so much for your nice comments and suggestions. We really appreciate it.
Looks so 😋 tasty. What a feast! Ruffles are my fav chips too.
Thank you so much. We are happy you’re watching.
