Chicken Salad Filling

From About.com

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. The secret is a mayonnaise and cream cheese mixture.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Cooked, cubed chicken or turkey
  • diced celery
  • chopped green onion
  • Optional: diced apple, diced green pepper, green grapes,cut in half, slivered almonds, cashews
  • 1 part mayonnaise to 3 parts cream cheese
  • garlic salt
  • lemon juice

Preparation:

Mix dressing ingredients (mayonaisse, cream cheese, garlic and lemon juice) together. The dressing may be thinned a little with milk if desired. Fold in chicken, celery and onion. Add salt to taste. Use for filling in croissants (that's how I served it) cream puffs, specialty breads. Can substitute Hidden Valley Cucumber dressing for mayonnaise if desired. - Pam
