Chicken salad is the most typical warm-weather picnic food, isn’t it? I have it every summer, and everyone else I know does, too. In fact, I think I’ve been eating it since I was a kid! It’s THAT much of a staple. I feel like if you live here in the States, you’re into chicken salad, no matter who you are!
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of boneless chicken breast, diced
- 300 grams of boneless chicken thigh, diced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- ½ teaspoon of sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
- ½ teaspoon of granulated onion
- ⅔ cup of mayonnaise
- 3 stalks of celery, diced
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
How To Make Deli-Style Chicken Salad:
- Prepare the chicken breasts and thighs by lightly coating them in oil. Add granulated onion, cracked black pepper, and sea salt.
- Place the chicken in a baking dish and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the breast, measured at the thickest part, reaches at least 165 degrees.
- Allow the chicken to cool for at least ten minutes before refrigerating it for at least an hour. Once the chicken is cool, dice the breasts and thighs into pieces about 1/4 inch long and 1/2 inch wide. In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, celery, and mayonnaise. Mix well.
- Ensure all ingredients are well combined, then cover and refrigerate for at least one to two hours, or overnight. The flavors will meld together better if left overnight, resulting in a tastier chicken salad.
- Taste the chicken salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Serve and enjoy!
