INGREDIENTS

• 1 frying chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lbs)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon each garlic salt and ground cumin
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced (use part of tops)
• 2 canned green chiles, seeded and chopped
• 1/2 cup each shredded Monterey jack and Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup crushed corn chips
• For Prepared Chicken:
• 1 small onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 sprig parsley
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 cups water

DIRECTIONS

• Cut chicken into serving pieces. In a large frying pan or Dutch oven, combine with onion, parsley, salt, thyme, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, until chicken is very tender. Strain and reserve broth. Remove chicken from bones in large pieces, discarding bones and skin. Reserve broth for other uses.
• Preheat oven to 400° F. To make dressing, in a small bowl mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, garlic salt, and cumin until smooth.
• Lightly combine dressing, prepared chicken, celery, green onions, green chiles, and cheeses. Divide the chicken mixture into 4 to 6 buttered shallow individual baking dishes. Top with crushed corn chips. (At this point the salad can be covered and refrigerated for several hours.)
• Bake, uncovered, until salad is bubbly and heated through (15 to 25 minutes).
