Ingredients
| 1 chicken (3 pounds) | ||
| Salt | 1 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| Celery stalks | 3 , finely chopped | |
| Mayonnaise | 1/4 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Lemon juice | 2 Teaspoon | |
| Ground black pepper | 1/4 Teaspoon | |
Directions
1. In 4-quart saucepan, place chicken, 1 teaspoon salt, and enough water to cover; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat; cover and gently simmer until chicken loses its pink color throughout, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes; drain (reserve broth for another use). When chicken is cool enough to handle, discard skin and bones; cut the chicken meat into bite-size pieces.
2. In large bowl, combine celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper; stir until blended. Add chicken and toss to coat. Transfer to serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
