½ teaspoon celery salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼-1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions:
1. Season chicken breast with black pepper, celery salt, onion powder and garlic powder. You can also add more spices if you like.

2. Place chicken in a large skillet, add chicken broth and simmer covered on medium heat for 7 minutes per side or until done. When chicken is done, let it cool and shred. Set aside.

3. In a bowl add chicken, onions, celery and eggs, toss to combine.
