Simple Chicken Salad With Organic Mayo

While I had the egg fired up Sunday night for the Cave Man Burgers I wanted to take advantage of a smoking egg to do a little cooking for additional meals during the week...

Picked up a club pack of boneless, skinless, chicken breasts and decided to cook them all for dinners and lunches. Here they are prepped and waiting for their turn on the egg. They were liberally dusted on both sides with some Dizzy Pig BBQ Swamp Venom Rub. Dizzy Pig has a great line of products that will really elevate your cooking, both on the grill and in the kitchen. Check them out when you have  a chance...

After the burgers were done, I converted my egg from a direct set up to an indirect set up using the BGE Plate Setter and the PS Woo3 from the Ceramic Grill Store for doing the chicken breasts.

Once they were done, I pulled them off and into the fridge they went until Monday evening's dinner...

We were out of mayo so I decided to make my own, using Organic Eggs and a recipe that I modified slightly from Emeril's version. It didn't turn out like store bought mayo; it was more like a dressing. Still was pretty good though...

Simple Chicken Salad with Organic Mayo...

Follow the recipe at the end of this post and you can use just about any chicken you have on hand for a quick and easy meal. I just had mine over a bed of Butter lettuce...




Try out the Organic Mayo (will also do fine with regular eggs too) and please let me know what you think...

Enjoy,

Here's the recipe...

Simple Mayo Dressing

by Edward Harding
Ingredients (About 2 Cups)
    Mayo
    • 2 Large Organic eggs
    • 2 Cups olive oil
    • 2 Tbsp of lemon juice (fresh is best)
    • ½ Tbsp of kosher salt
    • ½ Tbsp of fresh ground black pepper
    Instructions
    Making the mayo…
    You will need a blender or food processor that has a lid opening for adding ingredients while mixing…
    Crack and add both eggs to the blender.
    Add the lemon juice to the eggs.
    Turn on the blender or processor to med speed.
    While running, slowly add the oil to the blender. After all of the oil has been added, continue to mix for another 30sec unit blended well. Turn off once blended.
    Add the salt & pepper, along with any other spices or herbs, and pulse the blender or processor a few times to mix the spices into the mayo.
    Put the mayo into a sealed container (a quart Ball jar works well, or an old mayo jar that’s been thoroughly cleaned) and store in the refrigerator for at least an hour before using.
