This is simply divine and using the food processor produces a great flavour. I've even used the basis of this recipe with tuna (mixing coleslaw and miracle whip)

Wow. I was skeptical when I read this recipe. I had never heard of making chicken salad in a food processor. But after making this spread like this directions said, I have made the best chicken salad ever. My wife and mother both loved it!

This is excellent! I have been making this all summer and it is the best! I throw an extra two marintated breasts (any flavor marinade works) on the grill at dinner to use the next day for this recipe. It's easy and adds a bit deeper flavor. P.S. I tried it in the processor but prefer it shredded or finely chopped; just a texture thing to me as the flavor is wonderful either way..

I have made this chicken salad many times over the last 3 years. This is by far the best chicken salad I've ever tasted. I do however, chop everything since I don't own a food processor. I try to get everything chopped up as small as I can get it. I also usually refrigerate it for a few hours after I've prepared it to let all the flavors blend in. Thank you so much Richard Rego for this incredibly tasting, easy to make chicken salad. It truly is 'the best'!

Finally, a chicken salad recipe without fruit and nuts. I used the moist meat from a fresh rotisserie chicken for this. Instead of a food processor, I hand-chopped the chicken, onions, and celery so it would have a chunkier texture. Our local Piggly Wiggly deli makes a fantastic chicken salad, and they told me it was made with slaw dressing and Miracle Whip, but I didn't know the proportions. THIS is the recipe, and I'm glad Richard posted it. It's fantastic.

I thought this was just ok---I did not like the miracle whip as much as I like Mayo with this. I made many changes for our tastes: I always poach the chicken breats and add celery--1-2 stalks, 1/4 of a large onion and slivered toasted almonds. I just toast them in the oven on a cookie sheet. Keep them in the freezer and it takes about 12 minutes until they are toasty on 350. Since I didn't like the taste with the miracle whip I added 1 tblsp home-made curry powder and a couple of tblsp mayo. Hubby loved it this way on toasted Oregon Herb bread with lettuce.

The cole slaw dressing makes all the difference! I won't make chicken salad any other way.

This is my favorite now. I make it often now, my friends like it too, and asking for a recipe... I dont use a food processor, but I cut the chicken finely, so its good. BTW I made the coleslaw dressing as one of the reviewers has suggested.

Great chicken salad, very easy! Not too bland but not the chicken flavor doesn't get overwhelmed either. We'll be having this often.

Oh so good! I have always wanted a chicken salad recipe to call my own. I have found it! You can make the texture any way you want. I made it as is. Served on croissants. I layered lettuce and sweet pickles on top of salad for my sandwich. Can also be used like a pate w/crackers if you process it enough.

i used half my boiled chicken to make enchiladas and wanted something super easy for the rest of the chicken. Wow, what a find! Realized too late I didn't have the cole slaw dressing on hand - subbed Drew's All Natural Dressing & Quick Noodle Sauce, Lemon Goddess Tahini flavor (in store with the organic items.) Amazing. Looks like baby food; tastes like heaven. This is my new Chicken Salad receipe - no more eggs or fruit or nuts or chow mein noodles... Yippee!!!

I made this recipe with a "slaw dressing" recipe and it turned out great! I even pureed it after mixing it up and I love the creamy texture!

This is nice. I used homemade coleslaw dressing and mayo. I'm giving this 3 * because it wasn't above average or excellent. If you've ever been into a sandwich shop and they have a shredded chicken, mayo and veg sandwich this is what it tastes like. The consistency is not a plus in its favour. However, I suppose the kids would find it easy to eat, but not very flavourful. A bit of a disappointment because I tripled the recipe. Great for little kids sandwiches who can't eat crunchy things but not really suited to adults.

My first chicken salad attempt... turned out well. I think it needed salt. Used the store bought dressing that starts with a "m" and has a "z" in it lol. Will look for ways to enhance this pretty tasty recipe. Made with Roast Sticky Chicken and French Rolls to Die For, from this site

Very good. Made my own slaw dressing (white vinegar, sugar, mayo) and I must have used really large chicken breasts because I needed waaayy more mayo to make it good and creamy (probably a cup total). I did not puree the chicken, but chopped it into very small pieces. Loved it though and my husband said it was "the best chicken salad he's ever had"!

I made exactly to recipe and it had a very nice flavor. A little bland for my taste, but I will try to spice it up a little next time. I will also try it with the chicken more in chunks like some other reviewers. The ground up texture turned off my husband a little. A nice solid recipe and VERY easy.
