Copycat Chicken Salad Chick Classic Carol

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken tenderloins (this will yield about 2 cups of shredded chicken if you are using rotisserie or chicken breast)
• 1 large celery rib (finely diced)
• 3/4 cup Duke's mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pinch salt (or to taste)
• 1 pinch black pepper (or to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Fill a large pot with water. Add the chicken tenderloins into the water and then bring the water to a boil.

2. 2

   Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook the tenderloins for 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overcook or the chicken can become rubbery. The chicken should register at 165 degrees with a meat thermometer or you will also able to tell it is done when you shred it.

3. 3

   Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the water and let it cool. Use a mixer or food processor to shred the chicken. I find that using a hand mixer is best because it is quicker and it helps get the chicken very fine.

4. 4

   Next, use your food processor to dice your celery fine pieces.

5. 5

   Add the mayonnaise, celery, and seasonings to the shredded chicken. Stir well and then serve.
