Notes

- Ways to Cook Chicken
- Poach: Per recipe. Once chicken is cooked, remove it and then add some veggie scraps and continue cooking to make some homemade chicken stock.
- Roast: Coat the chicken in oil, salt and pepper, adding a little water to the pan, and then roasting for 25-30 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
- Use leftover: This recipe is a great way to use up some leftover baked chicken - as long as the cooked chicken has mild flavor / seasonings.
- Adjust Creaminess: The more mayo, the creamier it will be! Add more mayo to make it creamier.
