Equipment
- Food Processor or Mixer
Ingredients
- 2 large Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 cup Mayo I like olive oil or avocado oil mayo.
- 2 tbsp. Dijon Mustard Adjust to your liking- see notes.
- 1.5 tbsp. Sweet Pickle Relish
- 3 tbsp. Onion chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim your chicken breasts. Cover the outside with salt and pepper. Put them in a Pressure Cooker (Instant Pot is what I use) for 12 minutes on high pressure and allow a 10 minute natural release. You can also skip this step and use rotisseree chicken or any kind of pre-cooked chicken you have on hand.
- Put the chicken, onion, and pickle relish in a food processor. Pulse until well incorporated. You don't want to puree the chicken here so just pulse until the chicken is finely ground, but still has shape.
- Pour the chicken into a bowl and add the mayo, mustard and a dash of salt and pepper. Stir it together and taste for seasoning. Add more salt and pepper as needed. Serve on a croissant or a few slices of whole grain bread as shown. Store leftover chicken salad in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Notes
PLEASE NOTE: I love mustard and this recipe was written with 2 tbsp. of Dijon. This is a pretty flavorful mustard. If you aren't into mustard or aren't sure about the flavor profile start by adding 1/2 tbsp. of mustard and work from there.
