In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make scrumptious Keeneland Chicken Salad in a Bread Bowl, using the recipe of Chef Ed, from Turf Catering of Lexington, Kentucky. This is a different style of chicken salad from Bettys Elegant Restaurant Chicken Salad Sandwich and also from Bettys Hot Chicken Salad Tarts (both in bettyskitchen). This is the same chicken salad that I showed on our trip to the Keeneland Horse Race track, made from Chef Eds recipe. In the Equestrian room, the chicken salad was served surrounded by fresh fruit, but this time I followed another suggestion from Chef Ed, and served it in a bread bowl. It is terrific! Ingredients: 6 six-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts ½ cup diced celery ¼ cup diced onion 1 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon white pepper (If you dont have white pepper, I suggest using regular black pepper.—Betty) 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce small amount of chopped tarragon, if desired •Cook chicken breasts and refrigerate. •Dice chicken into 1-inch cubes and put in bowl. (Note: This is wonderful for chicken salad served on a plate, but if you plan to make chicken salad sandwiches, the cubes will be too big, so just dice them into a small size [about 3/8-inch to ½-inch].—Betty) •Add all other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Serving suggestions: Serve on a bed of mixed lettuce greens, on bread for a sandwich, or hollow bread bowl for an upscale presentation. Also suggested to be served with fresh fruit. (Note: The …

Made this tonight - I added tomatoes because I had run out of onions but still wanted a bit of bulk… and a touch of vinegar (only a few drops), ’cause I love my salads with that tiny twang that vinegar gives. It was YUMMY!!!! Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Betty,
Thank you so much for posting this video, I’ve been searching for a chicken salad recipe and I knew you would have a great recipe so I’m going to try this one and your Elegant Restaurant Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe! You’re the best and I would buy a cookbook from you as well.

Hi Joe!
I’m glad you like the chicken salad. The way we actually ate it was for me to put the cap back on the bowl and cut out wedges, and it was yummy with the bread! I am thinking about printing all of my recipes and indexing them, which could possibly lead to a cookbook…
Estragon…what an interesting word for tarragon! I bet you soak up a lot of the German culture. That must be a great experience, but I guess you think of home a lot, too!
Have a nice evening/night!

Hi,
chicken salad is one of my favorite ‘hearty’ salads, you can have it on a sandwich too!
The germans make it similar but add some (seedless) grapes cut in half…
The bread bowl makes it real fancy and i bet the guys munch some of the bread bowl
when the salad is all gone…. at least i would
you should make a DVD or a Recipe Book or something!
Joe from Germany
P.S. learned a new word ‘Tarragon’ we call it ‘Estragon’

Hi Sharon!
Thanks for your lovely comments! I think both presentations are great! You can just put it on a plate with a little greenery and fruit, and it looks wonderful!

Hi Betty! That looked lovely and you know I love your videos and I hope you make a cook book one day…. Your so lovely and wonderful people would be rushing to get it! Anyway, do you think it would look nice on a platter decorated or should I just stick with the bread bowl?

Oh my goodness, if you made a cookbook and had it published, I would buy it without a question!

I am using YouTube to organize my recipes! Some of my recipes have never been written down before, and this forces me to do it. Also, I am saving each recipe writeup in a Word document, and I hope to eventually get a cookbook printed, so that I can pass my 50 years’ worth of recipe creating and collecting down to my daughter! Thanks for the question and for your kind comment!

Betty, how do you organize your recipes? Do you use a software organizer for recipes?
This salad looks delicious. I like big chunks of meat in my salads.

Hi Angie! I plan to use my leftover bread for croutons. I do them just the way you do! The bread pudding is an excellent idea–thanks for that!

You’re welcome! For new cooks, start with simple recipes that will not fail, and then work toward more complicated ones. An easy and economical recipe is Betty’s Crazy Eight Can Soup, which you can find in bettyskitchen! Thanks for commenting!

Thanks! I wanted to do something a little different, but people who aren’t interested in the bread bowl can still make chicken salad sandwiches or serve the chicken salad on a plate with fruit! Thanks for your lovely comment!
