It’s a personal preference. I like my chicken salad with smaller almost pulled pieces. I also add shaved lettuce, carrot, red onion and toasted almonds.

Another great thing to make simply:
Chicken pot pies Premade shell Chicken cut up One can mixed vegetables don't drain! One can of cream of chicken OR cream of mushroom . no need to add water if you use the vegetables from can. One hour at 350 in oven Use a tin pie pan and place onto a metal tray for easy cleanup Place a little tin foil on edges or use a Silicon ring . Good for a week in refrigerator Can microwave leftovers 2 minutes .easy peasy . season to taste before cooking . . I use oregano or a Italian spice mix and salt pepper |

I know where you are coming from. My wife who passed away three years ago, had altzheimers. I likewise took care of her, mostly, although the last few months Cornerstone Hospise was a great help.Now, as far as the salad, I would suggest that you fine chop it, since there is a good likelihood that your wife at some point will have difficulty eating, and the softer and more fluid something is, the better it will go down.Best wishes...

I like to chop mine fairly small. It mixes better. Thank you for being such a good husband to your wife.

I cut mine into very small chunks and actually mush (is that a word?) the dressing into the chicken with a fork making it into almost a slightly chunky paste. It just depends on how big of chunks you like and the texture you prefer. I make my dressing by mixing mayo, couple of spoonfulls of honey and some minced garlic to taste. Blend that into the chicken and then add in chopped walnuts with some halved grapes. Its really delicious. Oh yeah, salt n pepper too. My other way is just mayo, celery, diced onions n lots of blk pepper n little salt. Both ways are great

I like to shred mine with my fingers! I also love to add a boiled egg or two, sometimes grapes cut in half and also toasted walnuts (put in cold dry pan then cook on medium and toss till they start to get light brown!

We like it on a plate with a little lettuce underneath to eat with it and make it look pretty. I like to add generous amounts of Hellmann's Mayonnaise, a tablespoon or two of grated cheddar cheese, finely cut onion and maybe some nice grapes halved. I know we all worry about Alzheimers changing our lives and taking our loved ones away.. Sending kind and caring thoughts to the both of you from the both of us.

I like to add curry and raisins to my chicken salad along with finely diced celery, onions, Hellman's mayo and a tad of mustard. I prefer to have the chicken in smaller pieces.
Chicken Ala King is easy to make and goes well over rice, mashed potatoes or stuffing. Hope all goes well for you and your wife. |

Good for you for taking on the caretaker role with such a difficult disease to face. I'm sure you've figured the size of chunks with all these responses, and I thank you for the reminder of how nice a picnic outing is. Will do that myself soon!
