Granny’s Chicken Salad – Leftover or Canned Chicken Recipe – The Hillbilly Kitchen

Granny’s Chicken Salad – Yesteryear Country Market Chicken Salad
Granny’s Chicken Salad recipe is one that my granny used to make nearly every Sunday for lunch after church. I always ate a bowl full of it with a handful of crackers. This is one of my most cherished memories of my childhood.
I made a few tons of this at Yesteryear Country Market. It always sold out before I could make more. Everybody loved it.

Howdy folks and welcome to the hillbilly kitchen today we’re going to be making granny’s old-fashioned chicken salad now you can use either of your homemade chicken in this something that you have left over from where you’ve made chicken pot pies or whatever or if you need a

Whole bunch of chicken broth and you don’t know what to do with the chicken this is something you can do with the chicken if you’re using homemade chicken the recipe that I have is for about a cup of chunked up chicken like this you can also use these cans of chicken and

This recipe is for the twelve and a half ounce can you’re only going to get about a cup of chicken out of this twelve and a half half ounce can maybe not even quite that much but it is okay to use the canned stuff in this recipe if you

Need it really quick and I use this a lot if I have to feed crowds in a hurry especially Alex and I recently did this recipe for a baby shower for a friend of hers and we made this bowl completely full of this chicken salad and she took

It to a baby shower in some little croissants another thing about this recipe is that this is a super inexpensive recipe that you can stretch a long way she offends seventy five people for about 50 cents a person at that baby shower which is unreal in

These days and times that you can feed people for that much money so this recipe it kind of came from having to use leftovers I suppose I know certainly when I was growing up there weren’t any leftovers that were thrown away and when my kids were little I kind of had to use

Everything because I had four kids you didn’t let anything go to waste but this is less than a chicken breast and this will feed three to four people depending on how far you stretch it but the other things you’re going to need is you’re going to need about a quarter of a cup

Of pickle relish the pickle relish you choose in this is really going to affect the taste of it because the way that pickle relish is spiced is going to change the whole flavor of your chicken salad I personally like wickles full disclosure – the authenticity of this recipe being

My granny’s she used her own pickles nobody or in her carries my granny’s pickles none of these grocery stores they just don’t have them anyway I like the Wiggles if you have homemade pickles certainly they’re good in it and the pickles that she used in this were her bread and

Butter pickles now the other thing that I put in mine that is a little bit different than my granny’s is I use depending on what kind of chicken I’m using two to three teaspoons of lemon juice now granny would have just used a little bit of extra pickle juice in hers

To season it and that’s because she didn’t have access to grocery stores I mean they there really was no such thing where we lived you had to drive an hour and a half or two hours to even get to a supermarket like what we would consider a supermarket today and lemon trees are

Not in abundance in the Appalachian Mountains so if you’re using your homemade chicken you’re probably going to need at least three teaspoons of lemon juice to keep it from being dry if you’re using this canned you want to drain it and it’s still going to have quite a bit more moisture than your

Homemade chicken that you have left over so you can cut it down to two teaspoons probably you’re going to need a quarter of a cup of mayonnaise and you can use a little more if you like a little more if you’re trying to do something healthier you can also substitute the Greek yogurt

In this recipe you’re going to need two to three teaspoons of onion powder I like a little more flavor so I usually do the three teaspoons and I also put in about a teaspoon of sugar now this is optional and believe it or not grating

Used it in hers it just really adds to the flavor you’re not putting the sugar in it to sweeten it you’re using sugar more as a spice and it really does add a lot of flavor and you’re also gonna need salt and pepper no matter which kind of chicken you use

You’re gonna use some pepper unless you just really don’t like pepper but I’ll probably use maybe an eighth of a teaspoon if I had to measure it in this I’ll just shake a little in but it would be just a little bit of pepper in this much salt if I’m using this canned

Stuff I do not put any salt in this because the canned chicken has salt in it already and if you add salt the recipe it makes it too salty this chicken I made does not have that much salt in it so I’m gonna have to use a

Little bit of salt in it but you know you can stir this up and taste it and salt and pepper to taste anyway let’s get on with the recipe your chickens gonna be in chunks whether it’s homemade or in a can and you want to kind of

Shred it up you don’t want these really huge chunks in your chicken salad your finished product and you can do that with a fork if you’re making a ton of it like Alex and I did in the big bowl for the baby shower you can even use your

Hands to do this that’s probably the fastest way to do it just mash it up a little bit if you’re making this chicken and it’s hot it busts up really really easy and that’s also gonna have a little little moisture in it and if you’re using your leftover chicken all right

That’s pretty good we don’t have any huge chunks and it’ll bust up a little bit more as we stir this stuff in but I’m just going to dump my onion powder in there and my sugar and my lemon juice put my mayonnaise in now we sell a lot

Of this chicken salad at the store you can get a chicken salad sandwich there on fresh and bread any day of the week and every so often David makes some croissants that are just absolutely wonderful their traditional French croissants and he folds the butter in and they’re so flaky and delicious and

Things that are butter baked go really well with this I like it with butter crackers it’s wonderful on the croissants that the butter just adds a lot of flavor to it this is one of those recipes that’s it’s good if you’re gonna get together with some friends and you

Want to just sit around and talk and enjoy your time together or not have to spend a whole lot of time preparing something you make big jug of sweet tea in the summertime and some chicken salad and get a really good loaf of bread and cut it up and make little sandwiches or

You can get some croissants if you want fancier and cut those and put it in croissants but it’s really good really simple everybody likes it it doesn’t cause a lot of food allergies you know the stuff with the nuts and the fruit in it a lot of people can’t eat that

Because of food allergies and a lot of people can’t eat tuna salad because of food allergies but pretty much everybody can eat the chicken which makes it good for large gatherings now that’s literally all there is to making it you just have to chop up your

Chicken or bust it up if you’re getting this and mix up the ingredients and you’ve got Grady’s chicken salad now we eat this at home a lot of times with pasta in it and we’ll make a meal out of it in summertime especially when it’s really hot and you’ve been outside working you

Don’t want to come in at a big heavy hot meal so for this much chicken salad you want about a cup of uncooked pasta which will give you about two cups of cooked pasta you just cook it according to the directions on the package and then rinse

It off dump it in there mix it up you might need a little more Mayo but probably not but I’m gonna show you what that looks like – if you’re gonna use it on sandwiches or crackers they wouldn’t add the pasta and like I said this will

Feed three to four people and if you wanted to have a luncheon with friends you can do the pasta and just do some crackers on the side Brett absolutely loves this and he has a fish allergy so we can’t ever do the tuna salad or any

Of the recipes that have tuna enema flip everybody does with pasta and stuff so we do this oops but when we have this like this with the pasta in it I usually serve it with some crackers in season I love cucumbers and tomatoes with this I

Mean it makes a really delicious meal if you’ve got some fresh cucumbers and tomatoes but I’ll leave the buttery crackers with this even when we have it with the pasta in it and just kind of serve it like that for lunch and like I said it’ll do three to four people

Really easy recipe if you’re having a big get-together you just double triple you know keep multiplying the recipe you can do it on the crackers you can do little sandwiches just whatever you want there’s an endless endless way to serve this and you can find something way to

Serve it to fit just about any occasion if you don’t want to make it yourself like I said you can stop by yesteryear and we’ll be happy to make you a sandwich and if you stop by on the right day you can even get one of David’s delicious handmade croissants but this

Is one of those recipes that are really good for sharing with groups of friends are when you have a crowd it’s quick it’s easy it’s inexpensive and it’s also good when you just don’t feel like cooking a big meal you can have this it’s easy doesn’t heat up your kitchen

And it still feels like a meal if you’re a regular viewer of our channel you know that I share my faith on here and I encourage you to leave comments a lot of times and share things and some people are reluctant to leave comments after

The videos been up for a while or maybe if it was something that’s put up at Thanksgiving they’re kind of reluctant to leave on later and any time I want you to know that it is okay to share god in the comments section on any of our

Videos and I can’t answer every single comment I wish I could but other viewers read your comments and they respond to them and I read them all I just can’t possibly answer them all now I do appreciate every one of them and I wish I pray someday that I will have time to

Actually sit down and answer every single comment that comes in but I can’t do that right now but in the comment section of this and every day you feel free to leave your prayer requests you feel free to leave any blessings that you have gotten any praises that you

Have anything that you want to share about how great God is the Bible tells us greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world here’s the thing if we don’t share how great God is with the world how are they ever going to know because people that

Are that are not saved people that do not believe in new Christians are not instantly going to pick up the Bible and open it up and see how great thought is and they don’t know him to know what wonderful things he will do in their life so the only way

The world is going to know how great God is is if we tell them so share how great God is on this video on every video we have and with everybody you meet because it’s not always just sharing the gospel with people that win them to Christ

Sometimes we have to let them know how wonderful it is to be a Christian what happens once you have that change of heart what happens once Jesus is in your life what happens once you become a child of God we have to let them know how wonderful it is otherwise how are

They gonna know the your general agnostic or atheist unsaved unbelieving person is not going to pick up a Bible and plop it open and find that they’re gonna find that in you and they’re gonna find it in me so we really need to let the world know how great our God is

Every day so you feel free to leave those comments on this video or on any of our other videos even we even forty years after this video is put up and I’m gone home I hope people are still leaving comments on this video about how

Great God is I want to thank you all for joining this and the hill kitchen don’t forget to click like and subscribe before you leave and until next time remember to put God first
