Share:
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
- 32 ounces low sodium chicken stock
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely minced celery
- 2 teaspoons dry Ranch salad dressing mix
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the chicken by poaching in chicken stock. Fill a large pot with the chicken tenders and chicken stock. Poach over medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Shred chicken, the chicken can be shredded with a stand mixer by using a paddle attachment. Or you can shred the chicken tenders with two forks.
- In a medium sized bowl add celery, mayonnaise, dry Ranch dressing mix, salt and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
- Add shredded chicken and mix in well. Store chicken salad in an air tight container.
- The chicken salad tastes better if prepared a couple of hours before it is consumed.
- Serve in a sandwich or on a bed of lettuce.
Notes
- Don't skip the chilling time - This allows the flavors to meld and the dressing to infuse the chicken fully.
- Dice the celery extra fine - The texture should be noticeable but not chunky, just like at the restaurant.
- Use room temperature mayonnaise - It blends more efficiently and creates a smoother dressing.
- Don't substitute chicken breasts - The tenderloins are key to achieving the right texture.
- Pat the chicken dry after shredding - This prevents the salad from becoming watery.
- Too dry? Add a tablespoon of mayonnaise at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Too wet? Add a bit more shredded chicken, or let it sit in the refrigerator uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Flavor not quite right? A pinch more Ranch mix or a dash of garlic powder can help enhance the flavor.
- Texture too chunky? Next time, chop your celery more finely or try grating it for a more subtle texture.
