Rice a Roni Chicken Salad

By on July 8, 2010 in chicken, Recipes, Rice, salad, Tried and True recipes

I adapted this recipe from one my mom got several years ago.  I think she got it from a neighbor after having it at a luncheon.  It gets most of it’s flavor from the rice from the Rice a Roni.  You add a few mix ins and some mayo and your done.  A perfect dish for a Summer meal.

Rice a Roni Chicken Salad

  • 2 boxes of Rice a Roni fried rice, cooked according to package and cooled
  • 1-2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 chicken breast, cooked and diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup green onion, diced
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  1. While you are coking the Rice a Roni, saute mushroom slice in butter until tender.  Allow to cool along with the Rice a Roni.
  2. In a large bowl, combine Rice a Roni, sauteed mushrooms, and remaining ingredients.  Stir until well combined. (I like to put mine in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving but isn’t necessary.)  Makes 6-8 servings.

    I love this recipe… However I leave out the mushrooms and add a can drained Mandarin oranges
