Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 pieces celery stalks
- 0.5 piece red onion
- 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
- 0.5 cup low-sodium mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and pour the low-sodium chicken broth over them to cover.
Bring the saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the broth and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, shred the chicken using two forks or your fingers.
Finely chop the celery and red onion, and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the low-sodium mayonnaise, unseasoned rice vinegar, lemon juice, dijon mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, and freshly chopped parsley.
Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, and red onion to the bowl with the dressing.
Mix everything together until the chicken and vegetables are thoroughly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, keeping in mind the low-sodium focus.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve on whole-grain bread, in a wrap, or as a salad topping.
