The BEST Chicken Salad
Classic and simple chicken salad! Great way to take some protein packed meals and snacks to go!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups Chicken broth
- 1 1/2 lb Chicken Shredded
- 2 Stalks Celery Finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Celery salt
- Salt & Pepper To taste
- 1 cup Mayonnaise (or avocado mayo or try subbing 1/2 cup greek yogurt!)
- green onions
Instructions
- In skillet, bring chicken broth to a simmer. Add chicken breasts and poach until cooked all the way through with no pink in the center, turning occasionally. Add additional chicken broth as needed to keep the chicken covered.
- While chicken is poaching, wash celery stalks, removing any dirt. Finely chop celery and set aside.
- Remove cooked chicken from skillet. Cut pieces in half, making them smaller for the mixer. Place chicken into the bowl of stand mixer and turn mixer on low. Keep mixer on until chicken reaches desired shred consistency. Do not overmix – the chicken will become mushy if you leave the mixer running too long.
- Into mixing bowl with shredded chicken add celery, seasonings, and mayonnaise (or half mayonnaise / half greek yogurt ). Using rubber scraper, mix until all ingredients are blended.
- Top with lots of fresh green onions/scallions!
- Keeps about 5 days in refrigerator.
