Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and cover with water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the water and allow it to cool before shredding with a fork or chopping into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free mayonnaise, chopped celery, green onions, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooled, shredded chicken to the mayo mixture and gently stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Stir in the chopped parsley.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Serve the chicken mayo on a bed of lettuce, as a sandwich filling, or with your choice of dairy-free bread.
