Directions: |
Directions:Poach chicken in a deep sauce pan in water, seasoned with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp onion powder. The water should cover the breasts. Bring the water to a boil, and lower the heat so the water simmers, add the breasts. Gently poach for 25 minutes until an instant-read thermomitor reads 160º.
Combine all chopped ingredients with the mayonnaise. Add 1/2 tsp ground pepper. Set aside.
Remove all skin and bones from chicken. Be sure to get the bone from the thick part of the breast. Slice and then chop up chicken into small pieces and mix well in large bowl with the mayo mixture. Add salt to taste. Use a light touch with the salt as you can always add more after mixing. Refrigerate for several hours to meld flavors. |

Notes: This is another family favorite. Especially in the summertime at family cookouts.
I have altered the recipe and added a chopped, cored and peeled granny smith apple. It adds a nice crunch and a subtle sweetness.
