  • Measuring spoons
  • Sharp knife

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Finely Chopped Celery
  • 1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon Onion Powder

Instructions
 

Prepare the chicken

  • Start with fully cooked chicken breasts. Let the meat cool down completely. Cold meat is easier to chop well.

Chop the chicken

  • Put the chicken into your food processor. Pulse it a few times only. The chicken should look like fine crumbs.

Move to a bowl

  • Take the chicken out of the processor. Put it into your large mixing bowl. Make sure there are no large chunks left.

Add the base

  • Measure your mayonnaise and add it now. This will start to make the salad creamy. Use a spoon to spread it around.

Add the sweetness

  • Put the brown sugar into the bowl. This gives the salad its unique taste. Stir it into the mayo very well.

Season the mix

  • Add the salt and the black pepper now. Sprinkle the garlic and onion powder too. These spices add a lot of depth.

Prepare the celery

  • Wash your celery stalks very well. Chop them into very tiny cubes. They should be smaller than a pea.

Add the crunch

  • Fold the celery into the chicken mixture. This adds texture to the smooth salad. It makes the dish feel very fresh.

Blend it well

  • Stir everything together with your large spoon. Make sure the dressing coats every piece. The mix should look very uniform.

Taste and adjust

  • Take a small bite of the salad. Add more salt if you need to. You can add more sugar for sweetness.

Chill the salad

  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Put it in the fridge for one hour. This allows the flavors to blend.

Serve and enjoy

  • Take the salad out of the fridge. Give it one last stir before serving. Enjoy your homemade Willow Tree chicken salad!
