re: Homemade Chicken Salad

Here's the recipe I use. I think it's important to dice the chicken and not shred it. I believe the texture is better.

I typically grill the chicken or roast it over wood (not smoke, that's too heavy).

4 cups diced chicken breast or boneless/skinless thighs.

1 stalk celery diced

1 bunch or a little less of green onion or 1/2 cup diced sweet onion.

1/2 tblsp dried tarragon and 1/2 tblsp dried dill

1 tblsp dried parsley

1 cup mayo

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tblsp Dijon mustard

Black pepper to taste.

If you're salting/seasoning your chicken prior to cooking, then leave this out.

A little more than 1 cup of firm, sliced red grapes or diced apple
