Here is how you make Homemade Chicken Salad (using dark meat):

Typically I roast a whole chicken in a crockpot to slow cook; seasoned with salt, pepper, cumin, garlic, & a chopped onion. Once chicken cools, debone & skin, remove all visible fat & inedible pieces, separating the dark from white meat, which I save for other recipes and sandwiches.On a good size roasting hen, the dark meat is about 12 oz., give or take an ounce or two; chop into bite-size pieces.Diced all fresh veggies: celery hearts, red bell pepper, purple onion; stir into chicken.Add yogurt, lemon and stir into chicken salad.Season to your taste. Chill and enjoy alone, served on a bed of mixed greens, or with whole grain crackers or bread. Delicious!Serving Size: Approximately 3 4-oz servingsNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TEXASFILLY.
