Chicken Salad Recipe
Ingredients: 1 can of rotisserie chicken or 1 pound of cooked chicken, cubed
1/2 small onion, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
How to cook it: Place the chicken in a non-reactive dish and cover with water. Add the onion, celery, and salt to the dish and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the cover and continue to simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the chicken, and the meat should be about 165 degrees. Remove the chicken from the water and allow it to cool. Meanwhile, drain the water from the onion, celery, and add them to a large bowl. Combine the chicken, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, dill weed, and garlic powder in the bowl with the onions, celery, and eggs. Mix well. Serve immediately.
