PARMESAN AND BASIL CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Roast at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 35 minutes, or until juices run clear. Let cool, and chop into chunks.
• In a food processor, puree the mayonnaise, basil, garlic, and celery.

BASIL-PARMESAN CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large heavy pot, bring the water to a boil. Peel, trim, and quarter the onion. Peel, trim, and smash the garlic.
• Add the onion, garlic, bay leaves, parsley, and salt to the boiling water and boil for about 10 minutes.
• Carefully slide the chicken breasts into the pot and return the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and poach the chicken for about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove the cover, and let the chicken cool in the liquid.
• When cool enough to handle, remove the chicken from the broth, skin and bone it, and shred into bite-sized pieces. Put in a large bowl. (Be sure to strain and reserve the broth for making soups or sauces.)
• Make the dressing: Peel, trim, and chop the garlic as fine as possible. Rinse the basil leaves, pat them dry, and chop very fine.
• In a bowl, combine the garlic and basil with the remaining dressing ingredients. If you would like a smoother sauce, blend all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until saucelike.
• Spoon the dressing over the chicken, toss well to combine, and transfer to a serving platter. Serve within 1 hour of finishing.
