2 tablespoons of olive oil
½ teaspoon of sea salt
¼ teaspoon of black pepper
½ teaspoon of granulated onion
⅔ cup of mayonnaise
3 stalks of celery, diced
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
How To Make Deli-Style Chicken Salad:
Coat the chicken breasts and thighs with olive oil. Season with granulated onion, cracked black pepper, and sea salt.
Place the seasoned chicken in a baking dish and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature of the thickest portion of the breast reaches 165°F.
Allow the chicken to cool for at least 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least an hour. Once cooled, dice the chicken breasts and thighs into 1/4-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, celery, and mayonnaise. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve and enjoy the refreshing flavors of this Deli-Style Chicken Salad!
