Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (450g) shredded chicken breast, chilled and cooked
  • 1/2 cup (115g) mayonnaise
  • 2 stalks (60g) celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup (40g) red onion, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Dice the celery and red onion into uniform, small pieces and shred the cooked chicken breast by hand into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth. Mix for 1 minute until velvety.
  3. Add the shredded chicken, diced celery, and minced onion to the bowl.
  4. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until evenly coated. Fold for 2 mins until no white streaks remain.
  5. Taste for seasoning and add a pinch of salt or black pepper if you've got them on hand.
  6. Transfer the salad to a chilled container.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Chill until the bowl feels cold to the touch.
