Chicken Egg Salad

Submitted by CarrolJ

"I love both Chicken Salad and Egg Salad sandwiches. Today I felt inspired to create a recipe which really highlighted both ingredients. This recipe doesn't have any fruit in it because I prefer no fruit in my sandwiches. For those of you who are watching your carbs this would be very good stuffed in a large tomato or on top of a green salad too. Chilling enhances flavor, but if you are hungry enough eating it immediately after preparing it tastes pretty wonderful too. Cooking time is chilling time."

I had three leftover small chickens from going to Dixie Stampede. They always give us way more than we can eat! My husband was wanting some chicken salad but I wasn't impressed with the last chicken salad recipe I had made, so I was trying to find a new one. I am SO GLAD I found this recipe!!! It is fantastic!! I diced up the leftover chicken into small pieces and ended up with 3 cups of diced chicken. I used a couple of Tablespoons of diced yellow pepper instead of the green pepper. I only used 3 hard boiled eggs and I also left out the sugar and salt. It turned out fabulous!!

This was really a great sandwich. I too love chicken salad and egg salad sandwiches. This is a great recipe combining the two. I had grilled my chicken yesterday so just cut it up this morning. I used green onions and no green pepper. I also cut this recipe down for 2 people. I found it tasted much better when it sat in the fridge for a bit. Really a great fast lunch to put together. Very yummy on a Kaiser roll with some lettuce. Thanks for sharing your recfipe Carrol

This recipe is a favorite in my house. The amounts of chicken (use chicken thighs for juicy chicken) and eggs can be increased to feed large groups. I also like adding a little bit of paprika in to make all the flavors come together.

I use dill pickles instead of sweet and a pinch of garlic salt.

Awesome easy recipe. I also added grapes and sliced almonds to the recipe. I could eat this everyday
