Best Chicken Salad - Ever! image

An herb and lemony chicken salad, made with a fantastic homemade mayonnaise that takes this already yummy salad right over the top. You can whip it up long before you can run to the store for a more expensive and less tasty product. Fabulous for sandwiches, salads, etc.

Categories     Poultry

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 cups shredded cooked chicken, from rotisserie chicken
1 cup mayonnaise, homemade, recipe below
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1/4 cup scallion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh herb, parsley, basil, and thyme work well
1 lemon, zested
1 -2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (or dijon mustard)
1 pinch sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • For homemade mayonaise - in a glass bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and other ingredients (except the oil). Starting very slowly (just a drop at a time) whisk the oil into the egg yolk mixture. Once an emulsion forms you can increase the oil to a thin stream. Continue whisking in the oil until it is all incorporated. Can be refrigerated up to one week.
  • Combine chicken with enough mayonnaise to moisten (according to taste). Fold in the celery, scallions and herbs. Season with salt and lots of pepper.
