"Chicken Salad" - 3 or 4 servings

1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
1/8 tsp. onion salt

Answer 2

This recipe was passed down from my grandmother and is one of the few things I will eat mayo in and the only CS I will eat.
Start with several whole chicken breast (one will make several ample sandwhiches!) and cook in simmering water (with veggies or canned chicken broth if you want to eat soup with it) until tender.
Shred with two forks or slice against the grain. Add finely chopped celery ( aprox 1 rib per breast)
Add mayo (can be slightly thinned with cool broth if desired) to taste.
Finally add cracked black pepper and salt.
I add a dash of ground sea salt and garlic for a zing! Enjoy with the soup for a great meal!
