Steps:
- Start with completely defrosted chicken breasts.
- Pound your chicken breasts to an even thickness by placing your chicken breast smooth-side up between two layers of plastic wrap or in a large disposable plastic bag (my preferred method) and go to town. Start with the thickest part of the meat and strike it, working outward until the breast is the same thickness all over.
- Marinate or sprinkle both sides of your chicken with salt, pepper, and your preferred spices before it goes on the heat.
- Heat pan over medium to medium-high heat, grease with cooking spray or a drizzle of oil, and add your chicken to the pan. Cook for 5-8 minutes per side. Turn heat down if chicken begins to burn.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of your meat. Pull the chicken breast when it reaches 165 degrees and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with 2 tablespoons of white wine, chicken broth, or water and pour back over chicken.
- Slice and enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside to cool.
- When the chicken is cool, remove and discard the skin and bones and cut the chicken into 3/4-inch dice. Place the chicken in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, tarragon, celery, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss well.
- To assemble, spread a little mayonnaise on half the bread slices, top with the chicken salad and mesclun mix, and cover with the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve.
CLASSIC CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES
Steps:
- To bake boneless chicken breasts, preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking pan with foil.
- Arrange the chicken on the pan and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Bake until the chicken registers 165 F on a food thermometer. Depending on the size and thickness of the boneless chicken breasts, it will take 22 to 30 minutes. Let cool and chop.
- To poach boneless chicken breasts, place chicken in a single layer in a deep skillet or sauté pan.
- If desired, add some herbs and chopped aromatic vegetables, such as onions, garlic, or carrots. Cover the chicken with water (about 1/2 to 1 inch above the chicken breasts) and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and continue cooking for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
- Check the chicken breasts with a food thermometer to ensure they are done to at least 165 F. Let cool and chop.
- Once you've cooked the chicken, gather all of the ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooked, chopped chicken, onion, celery, and egg. Stir to combine.
- Add 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, the dill pickle relish, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Stir to blend well.
- Add more mayonnaise to moisten, if desired.
- Serve on bread with lettuce and enjoy.
