Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Bake the chicken for 20 minutes or until it's cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to cool. Once cooled, chop the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Whole30-compliant mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, red onion, lemon juice, garlic powder, and fresh parsley.
Add the cooled, chopped chicken to the bowl and mix well until everything is evenly coated with the mayonnaise mixture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken mayo over lettuce leaves, in lettuce wraps, or use it as a filling for sandwiches using Whole30-compliant bread. Enjoy!
