Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
  • 1/2 cup (50g) celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup (40g) red onion, minced
  • 2 tbsp (8g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp (6g) lemon zest
  • 1 tsp (5g) Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1.2g) cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Dice the cooked chicken into uniform, 1/2-inch pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, diced celery, minced red onion, and parsley; toss lightly to distribute.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper vigorously until the mixture is thick, glossy, and completely homogenous.
  3. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently fold with a silicone spatula until evenly coated, avoiding over-mixing to keep the chicken chunks intact.
