Although this chicken salad recipe is very basic, it is still creamy and full of flavor, yet still enough room to customize it just the way you like. It has just the right amount of crunch from the onions and celery with that perfect blend of spice from the celery salt and other seasonings. Not to mention that kick of light sweetness from the sweet relish.

Make Sure You Have: Large Skillet

Ingredient:
3 chicken breast, flattened

½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon celery salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼-1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 stalk of celery, diced
½ small white onion, diced
5 hardboiled eggs, diced
1¾ cups Mayonnaise (may need more or less. I used 1 cup Dukes and ¾ cup Helmans)
¼ cup sweet relish
SEASONINGS

¼-1/2 teaspoon onion powder (plus more if desire)
¼-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (plus more if desired)
Celery salt to taste
Butter Bakery Croissants
Lettuce

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.

4. Stir in mayonnaise, sweet relish and the seasonings (black pepper, onion & garlic powder, celery salt) to enhance the flavor. Remember to taste it as you mix in the seasonings to check for the perfect balance.
