Steve's Chicken Peach Salad
Recipes » Salad » Meat and Seafood
Delicious, light chicken salad. Can be enjoyed year-round with canned or flown-in peaches, but also great for a spring or summer dinner with fresh peaches.
"Made this tonight with an unplanned substitution.My wife came home from the grocery store with peaches that looked great on the outside, but when we cut into them, were really mealy. So we tossed them.
Fortunately, we had FANTASTIC strawberries (best ones we've had all year), and I'm here to tell you that coarsely chopped strawberries are a terrific substitute. Also added 3 tablespoons or so of finely diced red onions." - stevemur

I recommend pairing it (i.e., SIMULTANEOUSLY) with this recipe
I generally use bottled poppy seed dressing, but this one would work as well. -

I enjoyed this salad with a salad of baby greens tossed with olive oil and lemon juice.

We love this light chicken salad - perfect for springtime!
|
|
|
We didn't want to heat up the house so we grilled the chicken. Turned out great! Im gonna alter it next time with a few changes.
|
|
Will make sure I buy sweet, juicy peaches next time. Have made this before using mango and preferred it.
|
|
With peaches out of season I made with dried apricots instead. Cubed a bag of them into the salad and it was still very good. Also used a s a leftover turkey alternative after thanks giving with pears.

I managed to select some excellent peaches for this salad. I made a creamy poppy seed dressing that I plan to keep in rotation. For the chicken, I made a poaching liquid of water, sherry, garlic cloves, and herbs de provence. YUM! This chicken salad recipe is a keeper. It should make really good sandwiches too.

whats the poppy seed dressing..i dont see it listed in the ingredients or directions
|
|
Very good recipe. Make sure you use fresh peaches!
|
|
|
This salad would also be very good with ripe mangoes instead of the peaches. Delicious!
|

We had some great peaches at our local market this week, so I made this salad with other ingredients on-hand. Very refreshing, brightly flavored late summer meal.
|
|
|
Celery is mentioned in the directions but not in the ingredients list. How much celery should be added? Thank you!
|
|
|
Just a note -- the pecans should be unsalted.
