Instructions
- Prepare The Chicken: If you’re using leftover chicken, shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces. For fresh chicken breasts, season them with salt and pepper and cook in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Allow it to cool, then chop it into small pieces.
- Mix The Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped celery, and minced red onion.
- Make The Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine And Chill: Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Serve the chicken salad on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves or in a sandwich.
