How to Make Marshall Field's Tarragon Chicken Salad

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon dried tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
  2. Refrigerate the mayonnaise mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld (optional, but recommended).
  3. Place 1/2 cup raisins in a small bowl and cover with water. Let soak for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Drain the raisins and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  5. Cook 2 cups of cooked chicken (about 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts). Once cooled, tear or chop into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Add the drained raisins to the chicken.
  7. Gradually add the chilled mayonnaise mixture to the chicken and raisins, mixing gently until the chicken is evenly coated and moist.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to your liking.
  9. Refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend further. Serve chilled with fresh fruit and miniature bran muffins for a delightful light meal.
