Directions

Step 1

Place chicken pieces, deboned, in a food processor to shred and pulse until chunky and broken down. Add shredded chicken to a large bowl. Add remaining chicken salad ingredients and mix well until combined.

Step 3

Make the mayo by adding all ingredients into a large mouth mason jar, adding the olive oil last.

Step 4

Place immersion blender into bottom of mason jar directly on top of the egg yolks and run it without moving it around. Hold it in place, while running the blender, until you can see the emulsification happening, then slowly move the blender around to incorporate more oil into the mayo until everything is incorporated, thick and creamy.

Step 5

Pour the mayonnaise onto the chicken salad and mix well until combined. Salt and pepper to taste. Crushed red pepper for spice. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Tip

This chicken salad is amazing served over a fresh green salad, inside sourdough sandwich, or simply eaten alone as a high protein snack/meal. Great for the lunch box!
