Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 4 Hard-boiled eggs
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 Celery stalks
- 3 Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the chicken: If not already cooked, cook the chicken breast by baking, boiling, or grilling until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Let it cool, and then dice into small bite-sized pieces.
2. Prepare the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs, cool them in ice water, peel off the shells, and chop them into small chunks.
3. Chop the vegetables: Finely dice the celery stalks, chop the green onions, and mince the parsley.
4. Make the dressing: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
5. Assemble the salad: Add the diced chicken, chopped eggs, celery, green onions, and parsley to the dressing. Gently mix everything together until well combined.
6. Adjust seasoning: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
7. Serve: Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve on bread, in wraps, or over a bed of greens. Enjoy!
