Tarragon Chicken Salad On Carrot Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chicken, apple, grapes, pecans, red onion, and celery in a medium bowl.
• Whisk mayonnaise, yogurt, tarragon, Dijon mustard, and lime zest and juice together in a small bowl. Stir dressing into the chicken mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• The day before, gently fry the bacon in a large non-stick frying pan for 30 minutes, until the fat turns golden. Lift on to kitchen paper to absorb excess fat, and leave to cool and crisp. Crumble into pieces and chill.
• Put the oil, vinegar and 1⁄2 tsp each salt and freshly ground black pepper into a screw-top jar. Put the lid on securely and shake the dressing, then keep in a cool place (not the fridge or it will go cloudy).
• Half an hour ahead, add the tarragon to the dressing, and shake until well mixed. Tip into a bowl and toss with the chicken, radishes and bacon.
• Tear the lettuce roughly and arrange on a platter. Snip the cress with scissors and sprinkle over, then top with the chicken.

Steps:

• Remove any loose fat from the cavity of the chicken. Place the chicken in a large pot and add the neck, carrots, celery, parsley, onion and a few tarragon leaves. Season with salt and pepper and bring to boil. Simmer for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked. Cool. (Freeze the cooking liquid for recipes requiring chicken stock.)
• Meanwhile, make the mayonnaise. Beat the egg yolks until thick and sticky. Add the vinegar and mustard and mix thoroughly. A few drops at a time, add the olive and safflower oils, until the emulsion has thickened into a mayonnaise. Stir in the remaining tarragon leaves and season with salt and pepper.
• Skin the chicken and cut the flesh into fairly thick strips. Toss the chicken in the tarragon mayonnaise until everything is thoroughly mixed. Correct seasonings.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine chicken, celery, chives or green onions, yogurt, sour cream or mayonnaise, and tarragon; mix lightly. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Place nuts in a dry skillet. Toast over medium heat, turning frequently, until nuts are fragrant and lightly browned. Add almonds to chicken salad, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
