Peaches Cream Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the peaches, chicken, cucumber and onion; set aside. In a blender, combine the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, mint, salt and pepper; cover and process until smooth. Drizzle over chicken mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Use a slotted spoon to serve on lettuce-lined plates.

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet with the butter over medium heat. Add the peaches and the juice of 1/2 lemon, and cook until tender and lightly golden, 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• While the peaches cook, heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, in a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. Cut the chicken breasts in half across the center of each breast to make 4 equal portions. Add the chicken breasts and thighs to the pan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes, then remove to a plate and cover with foil.
• Drizzle the pan with the remaining extra-virgin olive oil, half a turn of the pan. Add the chopped shallot, and the ginger, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the stock, the preserves, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce and season with black pepper, to taste. Cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes to thicken. Arrange the chicken and peaches on a platter and douse with peach sauce. Portions are 1 piece of light meat and 1 thigh per person.

Steps:

• In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in water; add orange juice. Refrigerate until partially set. Prepare topping mix according to package directions. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; fold in whipped topping and pecans if desired. Fold into gelatin mixture. Pour into an ungreased 8-in. square dish. Refrigerate until firm. , For peach layer, dissolve gelatin in water; stir in pie filling. Chill until partially set. Carefully pour over creamy gelatin layer (pan will be full). Chill until firm.

Steps:

• 1. Toast the almonds: Place a single layer of nuts in a skillet. Over medium-low to medium heat, stirring constantly, toast until golden and fragrant. (Be careful not to burn them.) When cool store in an airtight container.
• 2. Poach the chicken breasts: Add chicken to a large pot of water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for about 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. I like to add a chicken bouillon cube and seasoned salt to my water for extra flavor, but it's not necessary.
• 3. Drain chicken breasts. When cool, shred (or dice if you prefer).
• 4. In a bowl, combine mayo, sour cream, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 5. Add chicken, cucumber, peaches, and onion to the bowl. Mix gently.
• 6. Chill. When ready to serve, sprinkle toasted almonds on top.
• 7. * If you don't like the strong flavor of onions in your chicken salad, soak them in cold water for about 10 minutes and drain. This makes the flavor mild.

Steps:

• Dissolve peach gelatin in 1 cup boiling water; stirring until dissolved. Add cold water and mix well. Chill until it reaches the consistency of an unbeaten egg white.
• Stir in sliced peaches and banana. Pour mixture in to a lightly oiled 8-cup mold (I use a bunt pan). Chill until set. (This is where I usually let it set overnight, then resume the following the next day).
• Soften unflavored gelatin in 3 tablespoons cold water. Scald half and half, then stir in to softened gelatin. Beat cream cheese with electric mixer. Add whipping cream, sugar, and pureed peaches; mix well. Add to gelatin mixture and stir well. Pour over peach and banana layer; chill at least 8 hours or until firm. (I like to leave it in the mold a 2nd night, although it is not imperative).
• Dip mold in warm water to loosen the salad from the sides. Invert on to a serving plate, perhaps on top of a bed of lettuce for a nice presentation. Decorate with stemmed parsley, pecan halves, whole cranberries - make it your own masterpiece!
• Be sure to refrigerate until ready to serve.
