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.
