Crazy Good Chicken Salad

This weekend I was in Marble Falls, Texas, with eight of my college friends. Six came from Dallas, one from Oklahoma City, and three from Houston. The Houston girls brought a delicious treat with them: chicken salad from French House. I couldn’t get enough of it. It has a pate consistency as a result of the chicken being ground or processed in the food processor instead of being poached or roasted and cut into chunks. But the best part about this particular chicken salad was the present-but-not-overpowering flavor of vinegar. I often add balsamic to my chicken salad to add a bite and cut the through the creaminess. If anyone knows where to get chicken salad like this around town, let me know. I love Two Sisters dill chicken salad and the kind from Short Stop, of course, but this was a little more unique.

I read this story with 4 of my co-workers. 3 were from Dallas, 2 from Fort Worth, 1 from Austin and 6 from San Antonio.
We all give up, what’s the answer? Are the Two Sisters also from Houston?

The Festive Kitchen in Snider Plaza (other locations too) had the best chicken salad I’ve had so far. Same blended consistency, not sure about the vinegar. It’s so good they even call it their ‘Fabulous Chicken Salad’. Yum!

Wait, wait … I know this one … one of the people who was with you wasn’t a friend?

Sarah’s – Preston Royal, had the best chicken salad with that spreadable consistency you’re talking about. Still bitter she took that and her pies with her and closed up shop! It’s been years and I still dream about it.

Hahahaha Me! I was doing the math too for a sec and thought it was time for my afternoon coffee.

The Lunch Box in Ft. Worth has the best chicken salad on the planet!
