Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked & diced chicken 1 young chicken
  • 1 cup Duke's mayonnaise
  • ½ cup finely chopped celery about 1 ½ stalks
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp course ground pepper
  • ½ tsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Cook 1 young chicken.
  • When done, remove chicken from heat and allow to cool.
  • Once chicken is cool enough to handle, remove meat from the bone, picking out the best bits. You should come up with about 3 cups of chicken.
  • Dice chicken, chop celery and mix all of the ingredients well.
  • Salt and pepper to taste (I sometimes use a little more salt than what's called for).
  • Store covered in refrigerator and allow to "marry".
  • Can be made 1 to 2 days in advance so flavors can blend.
