Dixie Chicken Recipes

COPYCAT CHICKEN SALAD CHICK DIXIE CHICK

Steps:

• Begin by adding water to a large pot. Add the chicken tenderloins into the water. Bring the water to a boil.
• Once the water has come to boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overcook or the chicken can become rubbery. The chicken should register at 165 degrees with a meat thermometer. You will also be able to tell it is done when you shred it.
• Once the chicken is done, remove it from the water and let it cool. Use two forks or use a stand or hand mixer to shred the chicken in a large bowl. I find that using a mixer is best because it is quicker and it helps get the chicken very fine.
• Next, use your food processor to dice your celery and onion into fine pieces.
• Add the mayonnaise, celery, onion, and seasonings to the shredded chicken. Stir well and then serve.
