Shredded Chicken Salad With Cilantro

Recipe Ingredients

3 lbs	1362g / 48oz	Whole chicken breasts
		Salt
1/4 cup	59ml	Light vegetable oil
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Chopped Vidalia onions
3/4 cup	177ml	Walnuts - lightly toasted
1/4 cup	36g / 1.3oz	Finely chopped scallions
3/4 cup	12g / 0.4oz	Finely chopped cilantro
1 1/3 cups	315ml	Homemade mayonnaise
		You may use commercial mayo
		Fresh ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in a saucepan with enough water to cover.

Bring to a boil, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, reduce the heat, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Drain the chicken and allow to cool.

Remove and discard the skin. Remove the chicken from the bones and tear the meat into shreds. Place in a salad bowl and set aside.

Heat the oil in a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onions, stirring, until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Drain the onions and add them to the chicken. Cool to room temperature.

Add the walnuts, scallions, and cilantro to the chicken. Toss with the mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper. Serve the salad at room temperature.
