Amazing Chicken Salad

Several years ago my friend made the most amazing chicken salad, so I of course asked for the recipe. This is out of a cookbook, but I have no clue whose, so I apologize for not being able to give them credit. Your chicken salad is AWESOME, whoever you are!

I'm a purest with most foods. This holds true for chicken salad. If you want to spice up this recipe by adding in extra things, go on with your bad self! Most everything I usually have on hand, so there isn't much planning needed.

Cook Time: 25-30 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake at: 350

Ingredients:                                                                             
2 boneless/skinless chicken breasts                                      
3/4 cup of mayo                                                                      
1/3 cup of chopped green onion
1/3 cup of finely chopped celery
Garlic powder
Dried basil
Dried rosemary
Salt
Pepper
1 cup of water

Instructions: 
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Put the two thawed chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish with a cup of water. Next, season both sides of the chicken with a generous amount of the garlic powder, basil, rosemary, salt, and pepper (yes, you will put one side in the water, which will make some of the seasoning come off. It's ok).

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

While the chicken is cooking, combine the mayo, green onion, and celery in a small bowl. Set aside.

When the chicken is done, put it on a plate to cool completely. Then, either by hand or with a food processor, chop or shred the chicken. Combine the chicken with the mayo mixture and refrigerate for several hours. You want the flavors to have time to mix and set.

Serve on flaky sourdough rolls for sandwiches, or eat straight out of the bowl like an animal...like me.

This is great for a road trip meal if you're planning to stop for a picnic!

I really hope you enjoy this simple and delicious chicken salad!
