  • Add chicken broth to a large pot and bring to a boil. Place the chicken into the boiling broth. Turn the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Note: If you are cooking large chicken breasts, the cooking time might be longer.
  • Place the cooked chicken tenderloins in a food processor. Pulse to shred the chicken being sure not to over pulse. You could also use a fork to shred the chicken.

Notes

  • Mayonnaise: The best part about cooking at home is that you are in control of your ingredients. You can use less or more mayonnaise depending on your preference.
  • Chicken: To shred the chicken you can use a food processor, mixer, or shred it by hand. Be sure not to over-pulse or over-mix the chicken when shredding.
  • Celery: Make sure to dice the celery small.
  • Serving: I recommend letting the chicken salad chill in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving, however, you can serve immediately after making.
