Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups chicken (cooked, chopped)
3 tablespoons onion (red or yellow; finely chopped)
1/4 cup celery (finely chopped)
1 large egg ( hard-boiled ; chopped)
1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise (as needed to moisten the salad)
1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
1/4 teaspoon salt (or seasoned salt to taste)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
8 slices bread

Steps:

  • To bake boneless chicken breasts, preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking pan with foil.
  • Arrange the chicken on the pan and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  • To poach boneless chicken breasts, place chicken in a single layer in a deep skillet or sauté pan.
  • If desired, add some herbs and chopped aromatic vegetables, such as onions, garlic, or carrots. Cover the chicken with water (about 1/2 to 1 inch above the chicken breasts) and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and continue cooking for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
  • Check the chicken breasts with a food thermometer to ensure they are done to at least 165 F. Let cool and chop.
  • Once you've cooked the chicken, gather all of the ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cooked, chopped chicken, onion, celery, and egg. Stir to combine.
  • Add 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, the dill pickle relish, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Stir to blend well.
  • Add more mayonnaise to moisten, if desired.
  • Serve on bread with lettuce and enjoy.
