Let me know which of these recipes is your favorite. I'm tied between the curried and Tokyo 7/11, but that pesto hits too.
CURRY!!!
But raisins, really? You deserve a sun-burn slap for that one...
These look great but raisins in a chicken salad are equally as egregious as grapes in a chicken salad. 😂
I love that combination of curry and chicken and raisin in a salad
Tokyo 7/11. I'm going to make that in about 45 minutes. Great video - thanks!
Chicken breast? Pine nuts? What am I... a millionaire? It's 2023 and an apple costs $4.
Sounds like you should move to a different continent.
Yo. It's called MIND BLOWING chicken salad. Kapish???
I sub pine nuts with pumpkin seeds
This has inspired me to make Mexican, Thai, and Vietnamese versions. I think a Vietnamese bánh mì style chicken salad would be epic. Awesome video, keep up the great work. 👍
hey Bri, Chicken Salad 3 Way Part 2!!
@@uncreativename1 yes bro! 👌
Wow! I would love the Those versions! Please share! 😋?
@@unrulylane9637 well, just thinking of it off the top of my head, I'd have to say: *Mexican* - mayo, salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder or minced garlic, paprika, jalapeño or habañero maybe both for extra spice, avocado cubed small, onion (red, yellow, or white), and lime juice to taste. I would personally also add a nice cheese to this one, some kind of good Mexican cheese if you have it, unfortunately for me where I am I don't have it, so I'd use a good quality gouda or mozzarella, maybe some mild cheddar. *Thai* - I'd probably go with a red curry or panang curry flavor, or pad Thai flavor. *red curry/panang curry* - mayo, (salt to taste though it may not need it because of the fish sauce), red curry paste, onion (yellow or white), chili flakes or Thai chilies, kaffir lime leaves and Thai basil, some fish sauce, and thick coconut milk for the curry one. *pad Thai* - mayo, fish sauce, (salt to taste because the fish and oyster sauce I believe is salty already it may not need it), tamarind puree or tamarind paste, oyster sauce, brown sugar, garlic, bean sprouts, garlic chives, cilantro, peanuts finely chopped, onion (yellow or white), chili flakes or some fresh Thai chilies if you have them where you're at, lime juice to taste. *Vietnamese* - the basics of a bánh mì, pickle some carrots, daikon radish, jalapeños and or Thai chilies, and the cucumber or just fresh cucumber, pickle them in white wine vinegar, rice vinegar salt and sugar, spicy mayo made with mayo, Sriracha, lime, and sesame oil, and cilantro. I would probably add some sweet chili sauce to dip this one as well. And, after watching Brian's video, I'd say some mint or kaffir lime leaves would go nicely as well. Basically follow some recipes to see what all goes in these normal dishes, then just turn it into a chicken salad version. Sorry I don't have any exact measurements, just coming up with the ideas off the top of my head and looking at some recipes for the ingredients of the Thai and Vietnamese ones. I make a lot of Tex-Mex and Mexican food, so that one was just from thinking about what I'd normally use in a Mexican dish. Hope these help and turn out great. 👍
I was just thinking the same thing.
I made the pesto salad this week and swapped the mayo with full-fat greek yogurt for a healthier option. The result was delicious! I ended up picking up some tomatoes and fresh mozzarella to turn it into a caprese chicken salad sandwich. Will definitely be making the pesto again at some point. Going to try the curried next though!
Great idea.
This is by far the best cooking channel on KZhead. Your explanations are incredibly in depth as well as producing delicious results. I've made the caesar salad numerous times and the breadcrumbs are a genius idea as I get crunch in every bite.
It's also extremely convenient that everything is measured in grams or relevant methods. Recipe convenience is something a lot of really good food channels just forget about amidst the importance of video and food quality.
@@Patchumz Exactly, its seems as if Brian understands his audience well as being home cooks rather than professional chefs
I couldn't agree more on the breadcrumbs idea. I have been doing that on all my salads since I saw that video. Genius. Now my family is doing it too. Thanks Bri!
Brian's Caesar dressing is the best thing I've ever tasted in my life.
love this channel :D. Love the salads and burger videos especially :D
Most chicken salad recipes just list « cooked chicken » as the main ingredient; you explain how to cook it, which shows a great attention to detail. Same goes for sifting the pistachios, which I would not have thought of, and I’m sure makes a big difference. I also appreciate that the quantities are listed in grams; again, this tells me the recipes are precise, tested and balanced. I feel compelled to try the curry version, which I will do. I will post a follow-up.
Did you try it? I made it tonight and it's incredible.
As always with KZhead commenters.. 9 months have died and your production or a follow-up is stillborn.
Lol! I did all 3 versions, loved them all!
The Curry one 'kind of' reminded me of Coronation chicken, quite popular here in the U.K. since 1953. They all look lovely and i can't wait to try them, keep up the great videos 😋
Yep that's what I was thinking. 👍🏽
This is what I came here to say. I made Coronation Chicken for our family's celebration of King Charlie's coronation, and my husband just asked me to make more as we had eaten all the leftovers. I may have to try Brian"s curry chicken.
I guess the main difference being we don't consider Coronation Chicken to be a salad.
You know it's love when she eats straight up Mayo for you. Brian, you're a weirdo and she's a keeper.
made my physically gasp and put my hand on my mouth "MR. LAGERSTROM WHAT ARE YOU DOING"
Bruh! Grapes are my favorite thing in chicken salad. A nice texture contrast and an occasional sweet explosion? Hell yeah!
Agree 💯💯💯💯
Hahahaha me too!!
"Dusty Nut Stuff" made me laugh more than it should have. 😆 🤣
@04:02 ...feeding your wife a spoonful of mayo was not what I expected, but it definitely made my day 😂
Wow, what inspired flavour combinations! I can't wait try the Tokyo 7/11 version. The addition of the furikake is going to make this part of the rotation quickly. I can just tell but, none of your creations ever require a hard sell here. It's amazing the detail you provide within such time constraints. Thanks Buddy!
Okay, listen. I love grapes in my chicken salad, but your versions look SO GOOD. The first two especially are calling my name. Bless you for these gorgeous chicken salads.
I have many weird texture issues with certain foods, but for some reason I love that pop of fresh grape water in a chicken salad 🤣
Absolutely LOVE curried chicken salad, and I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. You're probably the only recipe maker that I follow the directions for, your recipes are that well developed!
I hope Duke's compensated Lauren handsomely for that
Been following for a little bit now and just wanted to say thank you for what you are doing. Every recipe I have tried has absolutely slapped. Your directions are always clear and the videos are always entertaining. Thanks for making cooking enjoyable for me again
I just made the curry rendition and it was unbelievably delicious. I zapped the raisin, sugar and vinegar for 2 minutes in microwave. Everyone in my house loved it, can’t wait to try the Asian version. Kudos to you Brian for providing us with such great content.
Hey Bri! Thanks for the video! Love the addition of the mixer speed! Can’t wait to try out this recipe this week!
Thank you! I so appreciate when creators explain the "why" it allows me to make my own decisions while cooking instead of just following recipes all the time.
Looks awsome. Must try. Thank you
I love Bri’s sense of humor!☺️
I just made the Japanese-inspired one and it was the best chicken salad I've had in years. (I made mine with celery & a ramen flavoring packet swapped for the shallot & katsuo, in case you can't find those at the store either.)
I could literally sit and watch an entire video of your taste reactions and ingredient tastings 😅.. i find myself constantly rewinding in these videos and making them about 5mins longer than listed! Love the channel and content!
Hi! I made the curried chicken salad today for lunch and it was amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe. It will become a regular in my home!
I made the curry version today and the family loved it! As soon as I get the ingredients for the 7/11 version, I will make it as well. We appreciate everything you do!
Loved these recipes. Would love to see even more chicken salad variations
Great video!! Great tip on using the mixer to get that classic consistency
I'm not a grape and nut chicken salad person. I will be trying these. They all look so good! Nice variations.
I’ve watched this video SO many times! I made the Japanese inspired salad and it was ANOTHER delicious winner! I love pickled ginger and Any excuse to use it has My attention.
i've learned so much about texture/consistency management from your videos man, muchas gracias
The curried one is absolutely PERFECT. I loved it so much. Especially that crunch from the pistachios. Fantastic work Bri! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’ve made the Tokyo 7/11 version a couple times now and it’s amazing. I’ve never liked chicken salad much but this one was so umami. I added arugula on the top to give more textural contrast since I left out the ginger and cucumber. Considering trying the other two as well!
Thank you. I have been making your chicken and tuna salads for my work lunches, so some more variations are welcomed.
Hi Brian . . . at 75, I've been cooking all my life (my mom loved to cook). Now I'm "the cook" in our couple-ship and really love it. YOUR channel is one of the clearest, most complete and "success-making" channels I've seen, literally, since Julia Child! (Yes, I watched it LIVE as a "youngster"). Your deep-dish quiche recipe IS a winner, AND . . . having LIVED IN France, the Quiches I've had IN Alsace-Lorraine that have been "killer" - had two ingredients NOT in your recipe. Namely: a cautious dash of Cayenne (ground red pepper - instead of black or white pepper) plus a bigger dash of NUTMEG. . . (in the custard mix), while reducing a bit the salt. THAT flavor combo "screams" Alsace-Lorraine. I'll soon make YOUR recipe with those minor changes very soon. We are all drooling in anticipation. (You're also VERY poised and funny on camera -- a terrific teacher, even for this "old dog." Congrats).
This was wholesome to read. Hope Brian sees it :)
@@diabeticdaniel7848 Idk, feels like satire
These are awesome! Chicken salad is a meal prep staple in my house. Can't wait to try your recipes!
Chicken salad sammiches are never boring - but they just got way better. Thanks for these great enhancement ideas, perfect as we head into the summer/pool season.
YES on Duke's mayo! You have pleased my Grandma Toy's spirit.
Try toasting your dry curry spices in a saute pan for a few minutes to make it have a less grainy texture. Love the channel, thanks for all the hard work!
I made the pesto chicken salad over the weekend and it was delicious!
Looks delicious
They look delicious! Thanks for these great ideas.
Very well explained great recipes
Love the recipes thanks for sharing
Congratulations on discovering Duke's Mayo. It is all my family has used for decades. I've tried others. I love Duke's.
I love your ideas and recipes!
I am looking forward to every single video because there is so much variety between all of them. I already did a bunch of the dishes and always try to „veganize“ them so my girlfriend and me can enjoy them. The herby chicken salad just knocks it out of the park. Much love and greetings from germany ❤
Since I'm totally new to the stand mixer scene, this got me to use the paddle attachment for the first time. Instead of poaching the chicken, I decided to sous vide it instead. Worked great.
Thanks, I made the pesto and it is excellent ❣️
I’m going to make the curry tomorrow for lunch, on croissants. Looks delicious! Thanks!
I made the curried chicken salad and it is sooooo good! Thanks for the recipe
I make your other chicken salad recipe all the time. My mom loves it. Excited to try these as well!
Bri being this adorable while also making me so hungry is not fair. Making that pesto salad for dinner 💯
Definitely gonna try this, thanks Bri!
I make Vietnamese chicken salad sandwiches and they're amazing. My friend thought it was an abomination until he had one.😊
That sounds sick! (in a good way)
Will you share what you add for the ‘Vietnamese’ part, please?
@@nancycy9039 probably just the pickled trinity, julliened cucumberor/onion/daikon/carrot. maggi seasoning is common, I prefer pate.
@@nancycy9039 Hey Nancy! I definitely will put in the recipe when I am able to get back home. Sorry I'm just seeing your message it's been nonstop traveling for a bit.
yes, please send your recipe. thank you.
I added some julienne carrots to the basil/pesto edition and it's a beautiful and crunchy addition
Hey Bri, I made all 3 of your chicken salads 👍🏻. My family and I loved them , my favourite was the curried chicken it was delicious. Thank you have a brilliant new year 🎉.
I have made 2 of the 3 (the third is coming up) and shared with friends to universal acclaim. These sandwiches are unique, creative and downright fun to make. Placing three versions side-by-side is an inspired move.
Made and just ate the curry chicken salad. Dopeness. Must make. Endlessly riffable. Genius.
Fantastic. I’ve got to try this. Thank you.
I love this channel and I am totally willing to try these chicken salads, but I still love the classic with grapes!
I would try any of the recipes but I'm most excited about the curry one. Reminds of something my grandmother used to make. The pesto recipe looks like it would be great with a few slices of tomato added, too!
Just started following this channel. I’m really enjoying your presentation and the recipes. I’m a mediocre cook but there is a wannabe chef deep down so I appreciate the education as well.
All of these look and sound equally incredible❤️🔥
OMG!!! Made the curry chicken salad today and it was amazing! I kinda want to put pickled raisins in everything now :) This will be a staple in our house - whole fam loved.
These look great, will try!
you're a unifying freak. I love it! I want to try these w rice or as lettuce wraps! I just discovered your channel today. thank you so much for your work!
Curry chicken -- wow! outstanding!
Can't wait to try these for sure. Speaking of your trip to Japan, if you had any, I'd love to see your take on Japanese Curry with katsu or maybe Omurice. Every Asian dish of yours I've tried have been the bomb and these are 2 of my favs that I've tried to make with mixed success.
These ALL look lovely. I’m a new subscriber and happy I found you. Because of you, I baked a successful sourdough bread for the first time in my life. Thank you❤❤❤
I love Dukes, and that you take real bites here! Bravo Lauren ❤❤❤
i will def try the pesto style thanks Bri👏👏👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Gosh! How much can one learn during a Bloody chicken salad video?! Thank you brother for all valuable lessons.
I like that you recipe links get right to the point as opposed to the all too common fare of some version of culinary War and Peace before finally finding the meat of the thing.
I made the curried chicken salad and I've been having it on avocado toast for breakfast / lunch. It's soo incredible! Everything works perfectly together: Salty from the pistachios, sweet from the raisins, spicy jalapeno, all mixed into a creamy, tangy, earthy base with the spices. There isn't a note you didn't hit. Pair that with some crunchy rustic bread and it's a match made in heaven! Can't wait to try the others.
They all look amazing, I will definitely try them all!
I warmed up the Japanese version of chicken salad and served on a brioche and it was even better!
i love grapes in my chicken salad! (but these variations look pretty great too)
You're a master of your craft.
Brilliant on all fronts. Thanks for learnin' me gooder.
Great job Brian…I love chicken salad…I usually chop up red onions, carrots and celery in mine, but I love the herb chicken salad you made!!👌👌😁😁
I love kewpie! I buy it in packs of 3 online. Best Mayo ever.
Good recipes. I have been making a very similar curry chicken salad for years and it really hits the spot. I usually add almonds and dried cherries in the place of raisins and pistachios but those are excellent ingredients. Thank you for speaking out against grapes. They are a fine fruit but not on my chicken salad sandwich!
Awesome!!! As usual.
Made Tokyo 7/11 for my son tonight. He loved it! It’s very good, tons of flavor. Delicious! If you have all ingridients, it’s very easy to make. Thank you for the recipe!
I love chicken salad! I always put grapes in the batch. I can have this all the time for lunch. 😁
I just made the curry version and it’s very yummy!
This was great timing to give me ideas. I was already going to be making chicken salad for my lunches this week. My basic chicken salad is seasoned chicken (duh) with mayo, spicy brown mustard and some onions.
I never knew salt breaks down protein fibers to retain more moisture in chicken. This is why I subscribed to your channel Brian, All of your videos are in-depth educational and I always learn something new
These look so so tasty! Greetings from Oslo 🇳🇴
Love this ....... relatable
Hi Brian I'm a new subscriber! I love all your videos that you post especially the different variations of a chicken salad. Will definitely try.
Definitely will be trying all of these soon
Just sat down to eat the curry sandwich and I must say its absolutely delicious! I didn't have those pickled raisins so I used golden raisins and slapped some sour cream to help loosen it up a bit. Fantastic flavors and just a hint of spice I used a large jalapeno might do a smidgen more next time to added heat lol. Love it and live ur recipes take care.
Thank you Brian - I just made the chicken curry salad and O.M.G it is the Frikin best eva. Thank you
didnt have a food temp thing so i just eyeballed the poach based off what i know from teas and worked out perfectly for anyone wondering! your water will be around 180 when the bubbles look like fish eyes or tiny pearls etc
These all look amazing. Will try soon
Mango chutney is great with the curried salads
Watching Bri videos wakes up my hungry monster myself 😂
Made the curried version. It is DOOOOOOPE! Basically doubled the chicken because that is what came in the package and I had no other uses for it. Easy protein packed meal that can be scaled up for prepping purposes or feeding a family. Definitely will make this again.
👍 Tx for the inspiring ideas! Your curry flavoured salad reminds me of an old family version of Coronation Chicken - basically chicken, curry, garlic, mayo, and Sultana chutney. It was always a regular favourite at family feasts as a side dish, but also great for lunch after school - on a fresh roll, or with a roti, or sometimes a bed of lettuce or shredded cabbage, or as a filling for a baked potato. Happy memories! Your Japanese version sounds amazing, but I'm missing most of the key ingredients. Can't wait to try the pesto version though - what a brilliant idea!
Yes! That pesto has me intrigued!
