Try homemade honey mustard dressing. I still use some Duke's (the only mayo in my book), maybe 2 parts honey mustard and 1 part mayo. Really good option to traditional. Don't forget the iced tea. 🙂
This brings back a wonderful memory… my sister and I would travel to your part of the country for vaca… we always stopped for lunch at a favorite roadside picnic area half way through the trip… we packed chicken salad on croissants with cantaloupe for dessert!! wonderful times
I love chicken salad. Haven't tried it with almonds,but I've put dried cranberries in it. I've also put it on toasted bread with a bunch of cheese sprinkled on top and then under the broiler for a few minutes. Hope you're having a great Saturday
Yum, that sounds so good. My mom used to make a chicken salad with pecans and dried cranberries. I’ve tried to make it but it’s never quit right, I wonder if she added lemon juice? I’m going to try that next time.
I add pecans, green onions and water chestnuts to my chicken salad because I can't stand celery. But have been known to add grapes too. If you place leftover chicken in some chicken broth it won't dry out and turn brown or get tough. The most popular ways to serve chicken salad is on top of or wrapped in lettuce, on bread, in pita pockets, in tomatoes and phyllo cups. Had to do chicken salad for a bridal tea and wanted to make it look really good, so placed spinach leaves on the plate and placed the carved, hollowed and filled tomatoes in the center to make them look like a rose. It was a big hit and looked rather elegant on that fancy eating table. After that, got requests to do it again and again, and with different colors of tomatoes to match bridal themes or other parties. Got a request for appetizer chicken salad in cherry tomatoes and the client was bummed that they couldn't have the bigger "rose" tomatoes, but I said don't fret, and stabbed little holes in the lower sides of the cherry tomatoes and poked in the smallest spinach leaves I could find. It worked and made a rather elegant display too.
😂 “I bet that was 1/3 of a cup”. One of the reasons I just love you Paula Deen! ♥️ I’m a Hellman’s girl (Hellman’s light now 🙄, but prefer the regular) and I LOVE celery so I’m going to try this combination!
I always pull pull out of the veiny things, too. It's horrible to bite into. I use pineapple tidbits, cashews and green onion in my chicken salad. I'm allergic to almonds and it is so yummy! Serve it on a crescent roll.
I've made her other chicken salad, & she added cut in half 🍇 grapes, & toasted pecans or walnuts. 👍🏻 Browned both halves of croissants. Absolutely delicious!! My entire family loves them. ♥️
I missed this until today... I searched " canned chicken salad recipies " I know some chicken salad, potato salad recipies. However, I like to see the variations on UA-cam. I miss you Ms.Paula! Thank you for doing you thang and moving forward with a great spirit! :) I'm definitely using real lemon juice this time ya'al
I bet if you added Mt. Olive Salad Cubes to this recipe it would be good. Dukes mayonnaise is also 100% sugar-free. Which works for my Diabetes. God Bless
love chicken sald. and mayo the Hellmanns or Dukes. I like bread, but with the lettuce bet it is good. with butter lettuce ( I think it's called that ). thanks Paula and Theresa and Eddie too
Paula’s potato salad from the first yellow covered cook book is still to this day the best dang potato salad I’ve ever eaten. And the only potato salad I will eat.
Chicken salad is a favorite in this house. My family likes it with Vidalia onion, celery, sweet pickle relish, spicy mustard, and Hellmans mayo (with salt and pepper of course) on Texas Toast. A piece of iceberg lettuce on that bread and the bread sliced up with a smear of Hellmans. I make these sandwiches when we go off somewhere and need to picnic or ... just because 😊 Thank you for sharing Paula! You are always a delight ❤
Gotta use that Dukes mayonnaise. It won't taste good without it! I lived in SC until I was 45. Moved to Maine. Now I order Dukes online, becauseno other mayonnaise tastes good.
What I put in my chicken salad is 3cups of chicken 3tables spoons of sweet pickles and juice 1 cup of minced celery 1/2 cup of minced onion Garlic powder to taste Miracle whip to taste Enjoy on a piece of lettuce Or my favorite on a 🥐or🫓with a nice slice of tomato
I’m a mayonnaise girl too Paula & Love Dukes! We did not have that up north. I found it when I moved south. I will have try with the almonds & fresh lemon juice. So glad you didn’t use grapes. They do that here and not a fan. Love your videos. Thanks Paula!
I do that. You can stir that around in a skillet w a little butter or oil n brown a little n season n it's delicious. It's hard when u live alone. Only so much u can do w all that food. So iv really cut back on that. .... I mean who wants to eat chili for days n days n u still have some left. You can freeze it but I don't like to but I do.
Excellent! Thank you Paula1. I made it exactly following your directions and put a couple large dollops on a salad with tomatoes, avocados and cheese. Delicious!
Hi Paula, I love your recipe. I love Chicken Salad it makes a great dinner on a hot Summer night with Corn on the Cob. I love it in a nice big Bun. I love Mayonnaise, Hellman’s Light please!
Do you have a good tuna salad recipe? I just put mayo, onion, and relish in mine and I’d love something different if you have one. I like to change things up sometimes
Paula, so happy to see someone else likes mayo with French fries. Been eating them that way since 1980. Also some red onion and treagon in that would be great!
@@crawleyr4919 Good question. Helman's Mayo is good enough actually. I would prefer to use Helman's Mayo over Miracle Whip Salad Dressing though. Paula's use of the lemon juice is a great addition also! I am going to start adding lemon juice to mine. I have never done that before and it makes perfect sense!
Dukes was originally made by Sauer's of Richmond, VA, but it has been bought out. It's what we grew up on in Central VA. Salad dressings (e.g., Miracle Whip) are too sweet for chicken salad, but even my grandmother's homemade mayo (which was to live for) had a pinch of sugar in it.
For me, I'd have to have some diced onion in the chicken salad too and I do add lemon juice to my chicken salads too only I mix the lemon juice in with the mayo first before adding it to the chicken, celery, slivered almonds mixture and of course a bit of diced onion too... lol ( I prefer Dukes Mayo too) It looks delish even without the onion...
I use Jewel’s grilled chicken for my chicken salad. It’s thee best ever. I use mayonnaise, celery, purple onions, relish, boiled eggs and green grapes sometimes. No other seasonings required.
Hey, when you open your can, do take the lid all the way off, drain the juice off. Then go the si k and run the can under the faucet and let the water until clear like. Then press the lid down to drain off any extra water. Then, proceed to make your tuna. It may seem dry, but once you add your ingredients, it'll become less dry.
I didn't realize this was Paula Deen. She looks different here. Where do you live? I've never seen a fireplace by a kitchen and I love it!! The recipe looks good. Have you ever tried putting red grapes and sliced almonds in it?
I stopped using ketchup with brown sugar on top ,trying to cut extra sugar. So now I save some of the plain tomato sauce and add brown sugar to it. I baby steps add i honestly can't tell the difference.
I love chicken salad and I love mayo. I also do not like the imitation lemon juice. Gotta be fresh squeezed. Never tried it in chicken salad so I will try it next time. Thanks Paula. Your the bestest
Ok Paula what’s the difference between Dukes and Hellmans ? Is it sweeter or thicker ? Just curious because so many people in your region prefer Dukes but I’ve never heard why
There is a luncheon restaurant near me that serves a delicious Hawaiian Chicken Salad melt . Apparently, the owners had one like it in Hawaii. The ingredients and recipe are chicken salad, American cheese & pineapple slice … grilled on closed raisin bread . It is delicious.
What do you put in your chicken salad recipe?
I make it the same as you, plus one more ingredient- a tablespoon of deli mustard.
Tarragon and dill ... and pecans
Everything you added, but I also like onion, mustard, and relish. I truly enjoy your cooking!
Try homemade honey mustard dressing. I still use some Duke's (the only mayo in my book), maybe 2 parts honey mustard and 1 part mayo. Really good option to traditional. Don't forget the iced tea. 🙂
No almonds, but add mustard and dill pickles. 😋
This brings back a wonderful memory… my sister and I would travel to your part of the country for
vaca… we always stopped for lunch at a favorite roadside picnic area half way through the trip… we packed chicken salad on croissants with cantaloupe for dessert!! wonderful times
Good memories
I like Dukes on my French fries too.
I love adding green grapes cut up. So delicious.
I love chicken salad.
Haven't tried it with almonds,but I've put dried cranberries in it.
I've also put it on toasted bread with a bunch of cheese sprinkled on top and then under the broiler for a few minutes.
Hope you're having a great Saturday
We’ve had it with cranberries and chopped pecans. We chop the celery fine. Love your comment though. Almonds would be my second nut choice
This chicken salad on a croissant with a little lettuce and tomato. Yum!!
I am going to try lemon juice the next time I make chicken salad.
The recipe calls for you to mix mayo lemon and salt seperately
Yum, that sounds so good. My mom used to make a chicken salad with pecans and dried cranberries. I’ve tried to make it but it’s never quit right, I wonder if she added lemon juice? I’m going to try that next time.
I add pecans, green onions and water chestnuts to my chicken salad because I can't stand celery.

PAULA YOUR HAIR LOOKS SO PRETTY LIKE THAT. APPRECIATE YOUR CHICKEN SALAD THANK YOU❤❤❤
I always pull pull out of the veiny things, too. It's horrible to bite into. I use pineapple tidbits, cashews and green onion in my chicken salad. I'm allergic to almonds and it is so yummy! Serve it on a crescent roll.
We made that version at the grocery store deli I worked at. It was called Hawaiian Chicken salad. We also made a regular 9ne too v
Cashews sound delicious.
So simple and perfect! Would be delicious on a croissant too! 😋
I've made her other chicken salad, & she added cut in half 🍇 grapes, & toasted pecans or walnuts. 👍🏻 Browned both halves of croissants. Absolutely delicious!! My entire family loves them. ♥️
Toasted Bagel is my favorite
Yes nothing better than a creat chicken salad on croissant sandwich yummy 🤤😋
I love chicken salad especially if it has grapes cut up in it.
It's really good with red grapes in there too! Sometimes I put walnuts if I have them.
I missed this until today... I searched " canned chicken salad recipies "
I know some chicken salad, potato salad recipies. However, I like to see the variations on UA-cam.
I miss you Ms.Paula!
Thank you for doing you thang and moving forward with a great spirit! :)
I'm definitely using real lemon juice this time ya'al
I use celery, sweet onion, apple, grapes, and walnuts.
3:47
Yesssss!!!! Bring on the Dukes!!!!!! 😜
I put green onions and sweet pickles iin mine!! Pinnappe sounds. Yummy 😋
Great, simple recipe and looks delicious!
I love my chicken salad with celery, grated carrots, onions and mayo, or I like it with celery, onions, walnuts, pineapple tidbits and mayo.
I love the lettuce wraps!
It tastes a thousand times better with Dukes. Unfortunately for me, Dukes isn’t sold in my neck of the woods. 😢
Yum!!! Looks so simple and Delicious!!! LOVE YOUR NEW GLASSES...CAN SEE YOUR SWEET FACE !!!♡♡♡
I bet if you added Mt.
Olive Salad Cubes to this recipe it would be good. Dukes mayonnaise is also 100% sugar-free. Which works for my Diabetes. God Bless

Im all about putting curry powder in with toasted almonds, purple grapes!
@crawley4919. Plus raisins, chopped green onions, and chopped celery
Paula’s potato salad from the first yellow covered cook book is still to this day the best dang potato salad I’ve ever eaten. And the only potato salad I will eat.
What goes into it?
@@kristinlanders1481 it is her potato with boiled eggs. I could not find the cookbook but I’m sure they are still available for purchase.
Share the recipe please
Hmmm...am I crazy? I like to put sweet pickle relish in my chicken salad.
I love pecans, grapes and a bit of mustard, onion, garlic, salt and pepper in my chicken salad sandwich. Yummy
Looks so good! Thank you from a TN girl

Thank you for sharing Paula! You are always a delight ❤
I'm funny about my chicken, too. I have to get all the veins out! I like to add celery, halved grapes and diced walnuts. Yummo! 😉
I just love celery in my chicken, tuna, egg, potato, salads...in soups, stews, stir fries. I love celery with hot wings and by itself. Cooked or raw.
@Diana-xm1dm studies show that those who eat celery cut their risk of pancreatic cancer by nearly 50%.
Yummy yummy yummy so delicious I love chicken salad
PLEASSSSE do the recipe for your BBQ ribs at your Family Kitchen restaurants!!! They are amazing!!!
Looks delicious but don’t like celery in my chicken salad but I love chicken salad without celery lol I always love watching you cook and your stories
I made this Paula! Exactly following your directions, it is very simple and very good. I can see why you sold a ton of this.
Gotta use that Dukes mayonnaise. It won't taste good without it! I lived in SC until I was 45. Moved to Maine. Now I order Dukes online, becauseno other mayonnaise tastes good.
I buy Hellmans
@@janefromtennesseeim an Missouri and yesterday I went to buy a jar of Hellmans and it was $10.79. Omg.
@@joycheek6756 I buy my Hellmann's mayonnaise when it's BOGO at my store it's usually 7.99 now
To each their own. I say you gotta use Hellmann’s because to me Dukes is just nasty. But I love Hellmann’s.
BluePlate is good too.
I made chicken salad sandwiches last night. What a coincidence!
Sliced grapes in it.So good.⭐
Good morning Eddie and Paula love watching y’all this early morning tell my cousin Paula hello ❤️Paul’s from Florida
An alternative to the lettuce wrap is just putting it in 1/2 avocado. That’s my favorite way to eat chicken salad.
What I put in my chicken salad is
3cups of chicken
3tables spoons of sweet pickles and juice
1 cup of minced celery
1/2 cup of minced onion
Garlic powder to taste
Miracle whip to taste
Enjoy on a piece of lettuce
Or my favorite on a 🥐or🫓with a nice slice of tomato
Delicious
Me too
I’m a mayonnaise girl too Paula & Love Dukes! We did not have that up north. I found it when I moved south. I will have try with the almonds & fresh lemon juice. So glad you didn’t use grapes. They do that here and not a fan. Love your videos. Thanks Paula!
I have heard that Dukes and Hellmans are exactly the same. Love Hellmans but have never tried Dukes.
@@LauraMc294 Not quite. When you try Dukes you will see the difference. Both are good but Dukes wins!!
@@SB-zl6im Thanks, I've been wanting to try it but live in Chicago. I think I can order Dukes from Amazon.
The lemon juice will have to try for sure! Was that Dukes mayo?
Just cooking for one, I've used a small can or foil package of cooked chicken breast for chicken salad. It's pretty good & so easy.
I do that. You can stir that around in a skillet w a little butter or oil n brown a little n season n it's delicious. It's hard when u live alone. Only so much u can do w all that food. So iv really cut back on that. .... I mean who wants to eat chili for days n days n u still have some left. You can freeze it but I don't like to but I do.
Dried dill weed or cumin powder. No almonds. Serve with tomato and lettuce with butter on toasted bread
Try chicken salad with a bit of curry powder. It doesn't sound good but is so delicious.
@baconbap. Curry powder, raisins, onion & celery! So good
Plus celery is a vegetable to get inside your body I like when she said that 💛💜
I like me some chicken salad too.👍
Paula you and I would get along real well I like mayonnaise too but I have to have ketchup on French fries
Looks delicious 😋 Yum 😋
Excellent! Thank you Paula1. I made it exactly following your directions and put a couple large dollops on a salad with tomatoes, avocados and cheese. Delicious!
Look delicious❤❤❤
Hello my Beautiful friend thank Yiu so much for that delicious salad, and with lettuce 😍 Yum. Lunch prep mission💗
Hands down the best cook television has had.

The red onions and teragon sound intriguingly delicious!
I would add cut up hard boiled eggs in it! I agree with Paula.. try to use Dukes Mayo if your store has it! :)
Wonder what in CA would be most like Dukes?
@@crawleyr4919 Good question. Helman's Mayo is good enough actually. I would prefer to use Helman's Mayo over Miracle Whip Salad Dressing though. Paula's use of the lemon juice is a great addition also! I am going to start adding lemon juice to mine. I have never done that before and it makes perfect sense!
@@Ameslan1 ok all i have here in CA is Best Foods or store brands 😥
@@Ameslan1 NEVER Miracle Whip?!! Oh Lawd 🤮. I just wish i could taste Dukes or Hellmans!

I love chicken salad that tastes like chicken. I make mine the same way.
hi Marsha I see we both like chicken salad it's my favorite where do you live
This Chicken Salad Sandwiches recipe looks so delicious 😋Paula.
Dukes mayonnaise is the only mayonnaise in my house.
Yummy! I’m going to make me some today!❤
I love that there are so many different ways to make chicken salad. I will try this one next. I love chicken salad
I am so happy I found you again! I used to see your tv show. You look great.
Love your recipes.
Looks delicious & healthy nice sharing
Paula Deen n Duke’s mayo🙌🏿🙌🏿
Sometimes I add lemon juice grapes and water chestnuts as well as the mayo and celery
THANK YOU MS. PAULA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s mandatory you have chicken salad on a croissant, lol
Te best seasoning on chicken salad is called "gone fishing" omg is that good, I gotta have grapes cut up in mine too.
I love the celery green onions
I didn't realize this was Paula Deen. She looks different here. Where do you live? I've never seen a fireplace by a kitchen and I love it!! The recipe looks good. Have you ever tried putting red grapes and sliced almonds in it?
I love dukes mayo I also add sour cream and greek yogurt little mustard black pepper
I stopped using ketchup with brown sugar on top ,trying to cut extra sugar. So now I save some of the plain tomato sauce and add brown sugar to it. I baby steps add i honestly can't tell the difference.
Thank you
Looks delicious.
I love chicken salad and I love mayo. I also do not like the imitation lemon juice. Gotta be fresh squeezed. Never tried it in chicken salad so I will try it next time. Thanks Paula. Your the bestest
Chicken has a good flavor a will try dukes mayo
I like to thinly dice red onions, sour cream, Veginaise, to the mix.
Ok Paula what’s the difference between Dukes and Hellmans ? Is it sweeter or thicker ? Just curious because so many people in your region prefer Dukes but I’ve never heard why
Duke's doesn't have any sugar in the ingredients at all and also it's got more of a vinegar taste the Hellman's does have sugar in the ingredients.
I don’t like the vinegary taste. Reminds me of Miracle Whip.
There is a luncheon restaurant near me that serves a delicious Hawaiian Chicken Salad melt . Apparently, the owners had one like it in Hawaii. The ingredients and recipe are chicken salad, American cheese & pineapple slice … grilled on closed raisin bread . It is delicious.
I’m so glad you don’t put onions in this! I do not like raw onions and so many chefs ruin dishes with them! I can’t wait to try this!!
I use 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt and a little Daisy Lite sour cream and lots of seasonings
Paula, we all need to read the calories, too. 😃
"I always have to add a little more mayonnaise..." Good lord!!!
I always liked to watch you in the80 a pass your recipes to family a friends..
Good on the grill a make chicken salad summertime sandwich I likevthem w grapes nuts so good
Like chicken salad as my family likes it a i like new ideas
For those who don't like celery---I use Water Chestnuts all diced up.. They work GREAT!! They rock in chicken salad! Try It.
Vegetarian now, but when I was little, chicken salad was my favorite! I ate it with grapes, red onions and pecans.
I have made this before but not added lemon juice. So I will have to try it with the juice.
