Chicken Salad Cups

"Excellent. Original recipe is from Pillsbury with some modifications by me. The variations are endless in this recipe. You can add or take away whatever you want. I've made it with red peppers added as well as some chopped mushroom. :)"

  1. In my opinion, these needed a little more flavor. I made a few small changes-miracle whip instead of mayo, regular onion instead of green, a tiny bit less cayenne pepper, and the almonds weren't toasted. I don't think these changes should have made that much of a difference in taste though! I actually tasted some of the chicken salad before baking them, and liked it better cold. So I could just use this as a chicken salad recipe and leave it at that!
     
  2. These were excellent!! I loved the addition of the cayenne, it added a little zip that was really nice. I made as directed except left out the almonds, as my husband doesn't like them. We both loved these cute little cups..way better than a boring old chicken salad sandwich. I'm definitely making these often from now on! Thanks so much for posting. Made for PRMR Tag.
     
  3. I agree with your comments...this is an excellent recipe! I made as written except I did not use the optional cayenne pepper (hubby wished I had as he loves a bit more kick). I can't believe how tasty these were and they become a showcase at the table. Definitely a go-to recipe for my next family or friends get-together. I'm so glad I made these as I will definitely make these for quick lunches and buffet family times! Thanks Nimz for sharing this recipe.
     
  4. Made these great little tasties as given in the recipe, but I did opt out of using cayenne pepper! These cups are a nice change from the usual chicken salad & make for a great presentation! Definitely a keeper recipe! [Made & reviewed as a PRMR Holiday Special recipe reward]

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
