Wendys Mandarin Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Add the dressing ingredients in a mixing bowl and blend with a mixer until combined. Chill before serving.
• As the dressing chills, add chicken breasts to a pot of boiling water. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until cooked.
• Once the chicken is tender and no longer pink, remove from the pot and cut into bite sized pieces.
• Combine chicken and other remaining salad ingredients in a bowl.
• Toss the salad with the dressing and serve.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in pot of boiling water; reduce heat, cover pot and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Once it's thoroughly cooked, remove chicken from pot, cool meat and then dice into bite-sized pieces.
• Combine all dressing ingredients in medium bowl and mix well with electric mixer until blended. Chill dressing before serving.
• While dressing chills, combine all salad ingredients in large bowl. Toss dressing into salad or serve dressing on side.

Steps:

• I recommend baked chicken for the salad. Heat oven to 350 degrees - sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, then after it's cooled a bit, chop chicken and sprinkle with olive oil (if I have chicken with skin, I skip the oil). Bake until done then after it's cooled a bit, chop chicken.
• After you have cooked the chicken, combine the first 5 ingredients; stir well. Cover and chill.
• Add mayonnaise, grapes, oranges, and almonds to chicken mixture; toss well. Serve on lettuce. Garnish with additional orange slices and grape clusters, if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

Steps:

• Boil Chicken until fully cooked (I like to use cut up pieces of chicken on the bone. It makes the moistest chicken salad.).
• While Chicken is cooking prepare/chop Celery, Grapes (I find red seedless grapes sweeter), and Parsley.
• De-bone Chicken and remove skin and cartilage.
• Place shredded/diced chicken meat in bowl.
• In a preheated 350 oven, place Almonds in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
• Toast Almonds for approximately 10 minutes (or until slightly golden.) turning Almonds at least once in between. **Keep a close eye on these while cooking, they can over cook very rapidly!
• In a separate bowl, prepare and whip Heavy Whipping Cream until you achieve soft peaks (or according to package directions.).
• Combine Chicken, Celery, Grapes, Parsley, Salt and Mayonnaise.
• Gently fold in toasted Almonds and whipped/prepared Heavy Whipping Cream.
• Chill until ready to serve.
• Serve on large bakery sized Cresent Rolls or on a bed of lettuce or Pita Bread.
