½ cup lemon juice
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • To make the marinade, mix 1/2 cup lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a flat surface, and cut from one side through the middle of the breasts to within one half inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out flat like an open book. Place in a shallow dish, and pour the olive oil mixture over the chicken, turning once to coat evenly with marinade. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tarragon leaves: Fresh tarragon leaves provide the best flavor for this salad. If you can't find fresh tarragon, you can use dried tarragon, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: A good quality mayonnaise will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad will help the flavors to meld and will make it more refreshing.

Conclusion:
