Deli-Style Chicken Salad

Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken:

Lightly coat the diced chicken breasts and thighs with olive oil. Season with granulated onion, black pepper, and sea salt.

Bake the Chicken:

Place the chicken in a baking dish and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the thickest part of the breast reaches 165°F (75°C) internally.

Cool and Dice:

Let the chicken cool for at least 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Once chilled, dice into ¼-inch by ½-inch pieces.

Mix Ingredients:

In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, celery, and mayonnaise. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Chill and Serve:

Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or overnight for the best flavor. Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.

Serve on sandwiches, wraps, or enjoy as is! 🥪🥗
