Actually I think you are experiencing the results of a good food processor. Try pulsing the blade or use some other type of cutting or chopping tool. The problem you are experiencing would be equivalent to trying to chop tomatoes in a food processor to make pica de gallo.

blenders are usually made for liquid foods.. with the idea of making a more liquid like substance… while a food processor will do that.. it will also do more things.. and come with a more diverse blade .. for chopping and things like that… it all depends on what you will be making.. if you are going for the chunked, diced kinda foods go for the processor.

You need to use a juicer. A blender is used for things like smoothies and a food processor is for grinding up nuts, making a pesto, or hummus etc. My mom and a dear friend of mine both have the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. It’s easy to use with easy clean up. I highly recommend it.

No no no, do not put chicken in a blender or processor unless you want chicken mush. Here is how I would preare chicken for salad.

Chop up raw chicken an dsute in butter, or grill or saute a whole chicken breast. Let cook then chop with a knife.

Or boil the chopped chicken or even whole breasts. Boil just until done, drain, rinse with cold water, and allow to cool. If using the whole breast then allow to cool and pull or shredd the chicken to as big or as small as you want.

Then mix for the salad you want.

It is great but it does NOT replace either a blender nor a food processor. It is made for very small batches and it has very little power. You can not shred or slice with it nor will it chop anything very hard or large.

Yes it can, with a bowl and a fork, I would do half a can of garbanzo beans at a time to make sure you are mashing all the beans. It will still have more texture than making it in a food processor, but texture is a good thing in my book.
