Prep: 5 minutes
Total: 5 minutes
Yield:6

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken cooked
  • ¾ cup celery finely minced
  • ½ cup sweet onion finely minced
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • black pepper
  • 4-8 tablespoons chicken broth

Instructions

  • Cook and shred the chicken. (See notes.) Add shredded chicken, celery, sweet onion, mayonnaise, buffalo sauce, salt, and pepper to a large bowl and stir.
  • Add broth one tablespoon at a time until mixture becomes creamy and desired texture. Add more mayonnaise to taste if desired.

Notes

  • Chicken: Use precooked chicken or cook your own. Place the chicken breasts in a wide skillet and cover with some chicken broth. Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover your skillet and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 160º F. Reserve the broth for the salad.
  • How to shred chicken: Use two forks. Stab one fork into a piece of cooked chicken and drag the other across the chicken to shred it. Alternately, put the chicken in a bowl and shred it using a hand mixer on low speed.
