This hot chicken salad is incredible! My favorite chicken salad is spread in a baking dish and topped with potato chips, baked until warm then served with crisp, refreshing endive. It’s super satisfying and so delicious!
Raise your hand if you want a new lunch idea!
This hot chicken salad is my favorite chicken salad recipe, baked until warm and topped with crunchy potato chips. I love it for lunch or a snack or even as a cute little app! It’s unassuming but very delicious and satisfying.
It’s really nothing special, but at the same time, it’s everything special.
Why haven’t I been baking my chicken salad for years?
New favorite lunch alert! That’s what it is.
This dip is like if your favorite deli chicken salad and buffalo chicken dip had a baby. Minus the whole spicy buffalo part. Minus the cheese part too.
Okay, so maybe it’s nothing like that, but the fact is that we’re baking chicken salad until it’s hot. Serving it with crackers or chips or in my case, fresh endive.
I’m always looking for lunch recipes that are fairly easy, ones that can be made ahead of time and especially ones that are healthier and satisfying. I fall victim to the 2 or 3pm crash if I don’t have a sufficient amount of protein in my lunch.
Which is why I really love this recipe that uses both chicken (I just grab a rotisserie!) and plain greek yogurt.
So it goes like this: I mix up my favorite chicken salad, spread it in a baking dish and top it with potato chips. Yes, don’t forget the potato chips. They are key!
Then I bake it! Bake it until it’s hot and melty and the chips are slightly golden.
Next, serve it with endive cups. Oh my gosh I LOVE endive. It’s neutral enough that it takes on the flavor of any dip. And it’s super crisp, refreshing and crunchy. I love serving any sort of salad or dip with these “cups” – the endive leaves make the perfect scoops!
You can also use tortilla chips or crackers to scoop this up. Or it could be served in warm pitas, in lettuce cups or even on crackers melted with a touch of cheese. Chicken salad melts! I love it. (more…)
