1poundchicken tenderloinsthis will yield about 2 cups of shredded chicken if you are using rotisserie or chicken breast
1large celery ribfinely diced
¾cupDuke's mayonnaise
½teaspoononion powder
½teaspoongarlic powder
1pinchsaltor to taste
1pinchblack pepperor to taste
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water. Add the chicken tenderloins into the water and then bring the water to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook the tenderloins for 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overcook or the chicken can become rubbery. The chicken should register at 165 degrees with a meat thermometer or you will also able to tell it is done when you shred it.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the water and let it cool. Use a mixer or food processor to shred the chicken. I find that using a hand mixer is best because it is quicker and it helps get the chicken very fine.
Next, use your food processor to dice your celery fine pieces.
Add the mayonnaise, celery, and seasonings to the shredded chicken. Stir well and then serve.
