Hens and Chicks


One of my favorite things to do in Utah is visit Deseret Book. I’ve never met a book store I didn’t like, but this place is so much more. In addition to wholesome books, they carry family-friendly games, artwork, music and DVDs. Many branches have a Lion House Bakery where you can sit and enjoy a chicken salad or pick up rolls for dinner. When I miss Deseret Book, I make this recipe:

Almost Lion House Chicken Salad

4 cups chicken breasts (fresh is better than frozen)
1 cup celery, finely minced
1/2 cup onion, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup mayonnaise (any brand will do, but nothing can touch homemade)
Pepper to taste

Simmer chicken in about 6 cups of water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from water and allow to cool. Shred between 2 forks. Put chicken in a bowl and add remaining ingredients. Stir until well blended. Serve chilled with a warm, fresh roll and dill pickle.
