Ingredients
2poached organic chicken breasts, shredded
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I make my own but you can use whatever you prefer)
1/4 cup onion, finely diced (yellow, sweet, or red work best)
1/4 cup red grapes, sliced
2ribscelery, diced
2 tbsp. almond slivers
3tsp. tarragon
juice from 1 fresh lemon
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Poach 2 chicken breasts in salted water until fully cooked. (I put mine in a crock pot, on high, fully submerged in salted water for 35 minutes.) The breasts of a rotisserie chicken would work, too.
Once done, shred the chicken with a fork and transfer into a mixing bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients. Mix well.
You may serve this immediately warm, or chill before serving. It’s great both ways. I serve mine over a bed of mixed greens or spinach. No dressing needed!
