The ingredients are chicken breast meat, herbed salt, flour, cooking oil, butter, well-drained fruit cocktail, all-pupose cream, evaporated milk and mayonnaise.

Drain the fruit cocktail for 30 minutes. Place in a large bowl.

Using a wire whisk, blend together the cream, evaporated milk and mayonnaise using the ratio 2:1:1.

Pour the dressing over the drained fruit cocktail and toss lightly.

Cut the chicken breast meat into 1″x1″ cubes. Season with herbed salt. If herbed salt is unavailable, season with refined salt, powdered pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.

Heat an equal amount of cooking oil and butter.

Place the flour in a shallow bowl roll each piece of chicken in it. Fry the floured chicken cubes until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels.

Add the hot chicken to the fruit cocktail mixture and toss lightly. Serve at once.

  1. Hi, I’d like to confirm if you used evaporated milk like you stated or condensed milk because I saw a similar recipe on the Nestle All Purpose Cream site and they call for condensd milk instead of evap. I really want to make this recipe and would appreciate your help. Thanks!

    hi! i have been an avid reader of your website for months now. i tried cooking the hot chicken salad but the chicken turned out quite hard. i used chicken breast fillet. can you suggest a way to soften the meat? thanks so much!

    Karen, don’t overcook. The oil should be very, very hot so that the outside becomes crisp while the inside stays soft and juicy. Tumitigas yung chicken meat when it loses the natural juices which is what happens when overcooked.

    Hi Connie, this is good with shrimp/prawns (instead of chicken) plus caramelized walnuts.
