Directions

Step 1

Place chicken in a medium saucepan and add water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken registers 165 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and let cool for 5 minutes; shred or chop into bite-size pieces.

I make this weekly as a mason jar salad to take to work. Great flavor and easy to make. Sometimes if I want to have a vegetarian salad I replace the chicken with whole grains like farro or quinoa. Sometimes I replace the tomatoes with red pepper. Very adaptable. Read More
