Ingredients:

• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground white pepper, to taste
• 1-2 tablespoons light olive oil
• 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1 celery rib, finely chopped
• 1 bunch scallions, sliced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• ¾ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces

Instructions:

1. Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a large mixing bowl. Season them with salt and freshly ground white pepper. Drizzle just enough light olive oil over the chicken to lightly coat the meat, ensuring a subtle flavor enhancement.

2. Gently toss the chicken to ensure that it is evenly seasoned. Next, pour the fresh lemon juice over the chicken and toss again to distribute the citrusy flavor.

3. Incorporate the fresh parsley, chopped tarragon leaves, dried tarragon, finely chopped celery, sliced scallions, and chopped onion into the bowl. If you like, add the optional chopped walnuts for a delightful crunch and extra flavor. Toss everything together to blend the ingredients.

4. Add the torn romaine lettuce to the mixture. Gently fold the lettuce into the salad, taking care not to tear it too much.

5. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference. Allow the salad to steep for 10 minutes, tossing several times during this period to let the flavors meld together.

6. After the steeping time, drain any accumulated liquid from the salad. Give it a final taste and adjust the seasoning again if necessary. Fold in just enough mayonnaise to bind the ingredients together, ensuring that the salad has a creamy texture without being overly rich.

7. Serve the Deluxe Chicken Salad immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy. This salad makes a fantastic addition to any meal, perfect for brunch, a light lunch, or even as a side dish for dinner.
