1-Getting started with this recipe is a breeze first, gather and prepare your ingredients by shredding the cooked chicken, dicing the celery, and mincing the onion. This sets you up for success and keeps things organized. You’ll appreciate how straightforward each step is, especially if cooking isn’t your everyday thing.

2-Next, in a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken with celery and onion to distribute the flavors evenly. Then, add the mayonnaise, salt, and pepper or Everything Seasoning, stirring everything together until it’s well combined. Taste as you go and adjust seasonings to your liking it’s all about making it your own.

3-Place your raw chicken breasts in a wide skillet covered with chicken broth, bring it to a boil, and then simmer for 20-25 minutes until it reaches 160°F inside. Once done, remove the chicken and shred it using forks, a stand mixer on medium-low, or even a food processor for quick results. Gradually mix in some of the reserved broth, about 1 tablespoon at a time, to get that creamy texture just right, and add more mayo if you want it richer.

4-Finally, pop the whole mixture in the fridge for a bit to let the flavors blend it’s ready to serve in no time. Prep time is only 15 minutes, cook time 25 minutes, and total time 35 minutes, so it’s ideal for quick meals.
