The classic chicken salad is the perfect combination of marinated chicken breast, creamy mayonnaise, lemon juice and crunchy celery, ready in just minutes! This is the best chicken salad I have ever had and it is easy to prepare. The chicken breasts used here should be bone-in, but you can remove the skin if you prefer. The skin and bones flavor the cooking liquid, which provides the bonus of several pints of chicken broth.
To prepare this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
Ingredients:
