Chicken Salad

Remember I told you about my getting a pressure cooker?

I am branching out and trying more recipes. 

I went to the "Pressure Cooking" class at the Bosch store

on Highland Dr. (if you live in S.L.C. you will know where that is)

And my favortie cooking couple Melanie and Mathew

 were teaching the class. One of the recipes was for Chicken Salad and the made this with frozen chicken breasts. So I tried it....
And it was Delious!!

So I thought I would share with you what I learned...

You need 4 cups diced cooked chicken so I used 3 frozen breasts (from

Costco so very big) I used 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon boullion.

You bring it to high pressure and cook 9 to 12 minutes.
This depends on how

frozen the chicken is. When done dice or shread.

Now in a large bowl mix:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lemon juice (more if you want)

1 teaspoon dried tarragon

salt and pepper

Mix in the bottom of bowl and you will only dirty 1 bowl.

Add 1 cup diced celery

1 to 2 cups seedless grapes ( red with walnuts & green with almonds)

1 cup toasted nuts you choose

1/2 cup diced yellow onion

4 cups cooked chicken

Now mix all together and enjoy!

What's am I Going to Make?

Pressure Cookers are so much Pressure!!

Oh the pressure....I am old school when it comes to these....I was raised you stay away from the stove when Mom was using the preassure cooker. I have been going to Melanie's Cooking Classes for at least 2 years now and she is always using hers. After 1 year I finally got brave enough to buy one....a few months later I was brave enough to open the box and start reading the manual.....That took a month....I have now mastered "Carrots". And my carrots are to die for! It really has taken alot to get me past by fear and over the weekend I used it for 3 other recipes....YES I branched past carrots!  I did Manhatten Clam Chowder in it and it took ...with prep time 30 minutes from start to finish! So I have now decided I love this pan! I did follow Melanie's suggest and bought a Kuhn Rikon. It really is easy its just passing the fear! LOL! Let me know how you like your if you have one!
