Last week, at a play date with J and M, D made the most delish chicken salad I've had in a long time. And I was amazed to find out how little went into it. Here's my rendition (I don't have her recipe; I just watched her make it).
You need:
1 3/4 # boneless chicken breasts, preferably grass fed/free range
1 small bunch of celery, separated
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 apple, preferably honey crisp
Mayonnaise
Salt and pepper (to taste)
In a large pan, place your chicken breasts, 2-3 ribs of celery (roughly chopped), 1 onion (quartered), and the garlic (peeled). Salt and pepper everything in the pan, and then cover with water. Bring to a boil, and then simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, place the chicken on a cutting board and discard the rest of the ingredients. Chop the chicken finely. Chop one or two ribs of celery and the apple into small pieces (I used the food processor). Mix together the chopped chicken, celery, and apple. Add mayonnaise to your liking and season with salt and pepper.
