Instructions

  1. If your chicken is not cooked, you can sear it in a skillet on medium-high with a tablespoon of oil for 4-6 minutes on each side or roast at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, add the salt, pepper, mayonnaise, basil, garlic, and lemon juice and combine until creamy but just a few little pieces of basil show.
  3. Add the chicken, creamy dressing, celery and Parmesan cheese together in a bowl and stir to combine before serving.
  4. If possible, refrigerate for an hour or more, the flavors are better as the chicken has some time to soak up the creamy dressing.
