Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, diced

1/2 cup celery, diced

1/4 cup red onion, diced

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 cups mixed greens

Directions

Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to cover the chicken by 2 inches. Add 2 tablespoons of the salt. Measure 2 tablespoons of the onion to the pan with the chicken. Bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer and is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the cooked chicken breasts under cold water until cool to the touch, then pat dry with paper towels.
