OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• To make the chicken: in a large pot, combine the chicken, butter, chopped celery and onion, poultry seasoning, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add enough water to cover generously, cover, and heat to boiling. Reduce to a simmer, cooking the breasts about 10 minutes or the cutlets about 3. Turn off the heat and let the chicken stand in the cooking liquid until cooked through, about 10 minutes for the breasts and about 2 for the cutlets. Remove the chicken to a bowl. Cool and cut into bite-size pieces.
• To make the salad: combine the minced celery and the onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and all of the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix. Add the chicken, tossing it gently until coated. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

• Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear and chicken shreds easily, about 1 hour 20 minutes; don't overcook. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove from the oven, uncover, and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Reserve any accumulated chicken broth.
