Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Cooked chicken breast Cooled and finely shredded
  • 1/2 cup Celery Finely diced
  • 1 cup Duke's mayonnaise Can adjust between 3/4 to 1 cup based on preference
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Freshly cracked

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Forks For shredding the chicken
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by shredding your cooked, cooled chicken breast. Make sure the pieces are nice and fine, not chunky, to achieve a light, airy texture.
  2. Step 2: Grab a large bowl and add your shredded chicken, diced celery, and mayonnaise. Gently fold everything together. Do not stir too roughly to keep that light, fluffy texture intact.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle in the salt and fresh black pepper. Give it a good stir.
  4. Step 4: Place the bowl in the fridge for at least an hour. This allows all the flavors to blend together perfectly before serving.

Notes

Serve this classic chicken salad on fresh sourdough bread, as a dip with crisp pita chips for a party, or wrapped in a crisp lettuce leaf for a healthy, low-carb option!
