Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Chicken Breasts: Generously season the skinless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Make sure both sides of the breasts are coated well.
-
Roast the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts onto a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes. The exact time will depend on the size of the breasts, so check for doneness by piercing the chicken with a knife — the juices should run clear when it’s fully cooked.
-
Cool the Chicken: Once the chicken is roasted, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
-
Shred the Chicken: Once cooled, carefully remove the meat from the bones and chop it into small, bite-sized pieces.
-
Prepare the Salad: Add the chopped celery to the chicken. Then, gradually mix in enough mayonnaise to moisten the salad to your desired consistency.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches: Serve the chicken salad on dark bread or toasted sub rolls, layering the salad generously between the slices. For extra crunch and flavor, add a handful of leafy lettuce.
-
Optional Sides: For a complete meal, serve the chicken salad with dill pickles or olives on the side, along with a few chips for crunch.
