Ingredients

4 cups diced poached chicken, recipe follows
1 stalk celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced or 1/4 cup sweet onion cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon or fresh dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 cup prepared or homemade mayonnaise
2 teaspoons strained freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
10 sprigs parsley
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 small onion, halved
1 small carrot, halved
1 stalk celery, halved
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts halves, fat trimmed
5 to 6 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium store bought

Steps:

Toss together the chicken, celery, scallions, dill and parsley in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Add to the chicken and mix gently until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Put the parsley, thyme, onion, carrot, celery, and chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Cover with the broth, and bring just to a boil. Lower the heat to very low and cover. Poach the chicken until firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, uncover and cool the chicken in the liquid for 30 minutes.
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and reserve the liquid. Bone and skin the chicken and roughly chop the meat into about 1-inch pieces. Discard the bones and skin.
Strain the broth and store, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for later use. Remove any fat from the surface of the broth before using.

Ingredients

2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 cup red grapes (quartered)
2 stalk celery (diced)
3 green onions (green and white parts) (sliced)

Steps:

Place the chicken breasts in a wide pot or pan and cover by about an inch with cold water. Season the water with salt. Optionally, you can add aromatics of your choice. Read my poached chicken recipe for more details.
Turn the heat to medium until it reaches a gentle simmer. Then reduce the heat back to low and cover the pan. Let the chicken simmer for 8-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160-165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then chill in the fridge.
Transfer the cooled chicken to a cutting board and dice it into 1/2-inch pieces.
Slice and dice the celery, green onion, grapes, parsley and tarragon. Add those ingredients to a mixing bowl along with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix everything together until it's well combined. Let it chill in the fridge until you're ready to serve.

CHICKEN SALAD

Chicken Salad image

This is super fast when using a store-bought rotisserie chicken. I buy one from our local market that uses only sea salt and pepper on it. I try to find a very light one, so that it won't be dry. The amount of mayonnaise needed varies, according to the size of the chicken. I like to serve it on a soft whole wheat bread or on soft egg bread, with the crusts removed and the sandwich cut into triangles. The herbs must be fresh, not dried. If you don't like cilantro, use fresh dill.
