CHICKEN SALAD WITH FRESH PEACHES



Chicken Salad With Fresh Peaches image

What a unique and fresh twist on chicken salad. Mixing mayo and sour cream create a yummy dressing. We never thought to add fresh peaches to chicken salad and we were in for a wonderful surprise. The peaches are sweet and mixed with the cucumbers give this salad a fresh feel. There are just enough red onions to add a bite but not...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
3 peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
1/2 c red onion, diced*
1 c almonds, slivered
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/2 c sour cream
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste

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.
