1 pound chicken breast

1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup red onion
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt

Boil macaroni in water according to the package instructions. This typically takes around 5-10 minutes depending on which type of pasta you use. Drain off any excess water, and leave the macaroni to cool down completely.
Meanwhile, boil your chicken in water on the stove for around 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken has cooked through. Use two forks to shred the meat. Leave the chicken to cool down.
Combine diced onion, celery, carrots, and peppers in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chilled cooked macaroni and shredded chicken. Stir to combine the ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Leave the salad to rest in a sealed container in a refrigerator, or serve immediately.
