PALEO CHICKEN SALAD
Chicken salad is great to make when you have leftover chicken, but sometimes it is a pain to make chicken just for chicken salad. But do not worry my friends, for I have a solution for you. It's actually a great way to make shredded chicken for any recipe. Throw your boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large skillet over high heat and cover with water. Bring to a boil, place lid on skillet and reduce heat to low. Cook for 30 minutes and transfer to a cutting board to cool for about 30 minutes. Then get to shredding. That simple.
You can substitute an equal amount of ripe avocado in place of the mayonnaise if you dislike it or want to try something new. And if you have picky eaters in your house who don't like certain things, like celery perhaps (you know who you are), then just leave that item out. It will still taste great.
Or just make it the way you like it and tell them to make their own darn chicken salad.
