THE BEST CHICKEN SALAD
Gently poaching chicken breasts in an aromatic broth yields tender morsels for folding into a bright and herby homemade dressing. Serve it solo on a bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes or in half an avocado. It also makes a killer chicken club sandwich topped with crisp bacon and other sandwich fixings.

Steps:
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, 1 tablespoon salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.
- Toss together the chicken, celery, shallot, dill and parsley in a large bowl.
- Add the dressing to the chicken and mix gently until combined. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight to meld flavors. Garnish with chives.
- Put the parsley, thyme, onion, carrot, celery and chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Cover with the broth and bring just to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low and cover. Poach the chicken until firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, uncover and cool the chicken in the liquid for 30 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and reserve the liquid. Bone and skin the chicken and roughly chop the meat into about 1/2-inch pieces. Discard the bones and skin.
- Strain the broth and store, covered, in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for later use. Remove any fat from the surface of the broth before using.
BASIC CHICKEN SALAD
This basic chicken salad is a family favorite. I like to use baked thighs or breasts that have been sprinkled with basil or rosemary.

DELICIOUS & EASY CHICKEN SALAD
My husband and our friends absolutely love my chicken salad! I originally got the recipe from my father, but have adapted it slightly. Very easy to make and great on crackers, sandwiches, etc. You can also substitute turkey and make turkey salad - it tastes just as great! This recipe can be halved for a smaller batch.

CLASSIC CHICKEN SALAD
This crowd-pleasing recipe for classic chicken salad is perfect for sandwiches, salads, and snacking. Bits of celery, relish, and fresh herbs add texture and flavor while Dijon mustard and lemon juice add a tangy bite. Enjoy it just as it is, or add nuts or fruits. My favorite way to eat this is on toasted wheat bread with lettuce and tomato alongside a healthy serving of potato chips!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Season chicken evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and onion powder. Place in the prepared baking dish and cover tightly with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear and chicken shreds easily, about 1 hour 20 minutes; don't overcook. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Remove from the oven, uncover, and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Reserve any accumulated chicken broth.
- Prepare dressing while chicken cools. Combine 1 cup mayonnaise, sour cream, relish, green onions, parsley, Dijon, lemon juice, dill, and remaining salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix until well combined.
- Break chicken into large pieces and place in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3 to 5 times to shred chicken to desired consistency.
- Transfer chicken to a bowl. Add celery and pour dressing over top; toss to coat. If more moisture is desired, add reserved broth or more mayonnaise.
- Cover and chill for at least 2 hours (or up to 2 days) before serving. Stir well before serving.

GRILLED CHICKEN MARBELLA PANZANELLA
This recipe is sponsored by Do Good Chicken. In a lighter take on the trendy retro dish, chicken breasts and fresh seasonal stone fruit replace the usual quartered chicken and dried fruit. They're marinated in a caper-and-olive-flecked dressing, then grilled and served on a bed of flame-kissed greens and toasted bread. The extra dressing becomes the classic savory-sweet white wine sauce that pulls all the flavors of this salad together.

Steps:
- Whisk the olives, olive brine, vinegar, apricot preserves, capers and brine, brown sugar, oregano, 1/3 cup of the olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Combine 1/4 cup of the dressing with the fruit in another medium bowl, cover and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Combine 1/4 cup of the remaining dressing with the chicken in a third medium bowl, cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Reserve the remaining dressing.
- Preheat a large grill pan or a grill over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and softened but not brown, about 1 minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the reserved dressing, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
- Grill the chicken and fruit, flipping the chicken halfway through and turning the fruit frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and the fruit is caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
- Grill the bread, flipping occasionally, until toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and tear into bite-size pieces when cool enough to handle. Right before serving, grill the lettuce, turning occasionally, until slightly wilted and charred in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the serving platter and toss with the torn bread. Slice the chicken and arrange it, along with the fruit, over the bread and greens. Drizzle with the warm dressing and season with salt and pepper.
EASY & YUMMY CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES
I am a stickler for a good chicken salad...it has to be easy, sweet, with a bit of crunch and not too "mayonnaisey"! This is my interpretation of the perfect chicken salad sandwich filling. Enjoy!
