Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked chicken breast

• 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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

3. Chop the vegetables: Finely dice the celery stalks, chop the green onions, and mince the parsley.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

6. Adjust seasoning: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 7

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!
