Servings: 4
- 1 pound chicken tenderloin or chicken breast (You need about 2 cups chicken.)
- 8 cups chicken stock or chicken broth or water with chicken bouillon
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
- 1/4 cup Fuji apples, diced
- 1/4 cup grapes, diced
- 1/4 cup pineapple tidbits
Bring chicken broth to boil in a large pot. Place chicken in the boiling broth. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Note: If cooking large chicken breasts, the cooking time might be longer.
Place cooked chicken in a food processor and pulse until shredded. Or you can use an electric mixer to shred the chicken.
Place the shredded chicken into a large bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, celery salt, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Stir in chopped celery, diced apples, pineapple, and grapes. Serve immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
- Cook chicken: You can either boil the chicken or cook it in a slow cooker for the best, tender chicken. Rotisserie chicken also works great.
- Use a mixer or food processor: I recommend using an electric mixer or food processor to shred up the chicken into small, fine pieces. It's best to shred it when it's hot. If you use a food processor, make sure to just pulse it until it's ready. This is a key to make the chicken salad so good and similar to the restaurant.
- Fruit: Dice up the fruit and celery small so it's easy to eat.
- Mayonnaise: If you prefer a creamier chicken salad, you can add a little extra mayonnaise.
