Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
  • 32 oz low sodium chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp finely minced celery
  • 2 tsp dry Ranch salad dressing mix
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • slices of whole wheat bread, lettuce, or tomato slices for serving

Instructions
 

  • First, cook the chicken by poaching it in chicken stock.  Fill a large pot with the chicken tenders and chicken stock.  Poach over medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. 
  • Next, shred the chicken with a stand mixer by using a paddle attachment.  Or you can shred the chicken tenders with two forks.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the celery, mayonnaise, dry Ranch dressing mix, salt, and black pepper.  Stir until well blended.  
  • Add shredded chicken and mix in well. You can store the chicken salad in an airtight container until you're ready to serve. Serve in a sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes or on a bed of lettuce.

Notes

  • The chicken salad tastes better if it's prepared a couple of hours before it's served.
