Description
A nostalgic and comforting southern-style chicken salad, perfect for picnics and family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Celery, chopped
- 1/2 Onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Hard-boiled eggs, diced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by cooking the chicken breasts. You can boil, grill, or roast them—whatever you prefer! After cooking, let the chicken cool down before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
- While the chicken cools, chop the celery and onion finely. Making sure they’re small helps evenly distribute the texture throughout the salad.
- Grab a large mixing bowl, and combine the shredded chicken, chopped celery, chopped onion, mayonnaise, and diced hard-boiled eggs.
- Don’t forget to season your salad! Add salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good mix to ensure everything is well combined.
- Now, it’s time to enjoy your creation. Serve the chicken salad over bread for a hearty sandwich or on a bed of crisp lettuce for a lighter option.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For a twist, consider adding fruits or nuts.
