Mmmm.... Chicken boob salad that's simple but provides major yummage. Consider adding pasta cooked al dente to this in order to snag some carbs as well.
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
2 celery ribs, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 medium scallions, minced
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Set chicken breasts on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Roast chicken breasts until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast resisters 160 degrees (about 35-40 minutes). Set aside until cool enough to handle.
3. If chicken breasts are skin-on, remove and discard the skin. Using your fingers, pull the meat apart, shreding it into bite-sized pieces.
4. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, using enough of the mayonnaise to suit your tastes. (Some people prefer a drier dressing) Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5. Serve at room temperature immediately or cover and refrigerate and serve cool later.
