INGREDIENTS

Miscellaneous
- Cooking spray
- 🍗 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup sweet relish

STEPS

Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

Season chicken evenly with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and onion powder. Place in the dish and cover tightly with foil.

Bake the chicken in the oven until it shreds easily, around 1 hour 20 minutes. Ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken cool for about 15 minutes. Reserve chicken broth.

Prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, relish, green onions, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, dill, and remaining salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.

Shred the cooled chicken in a food processor using 3 to 5 pulses, or by hand, to your desired consistency.

Mix the shredded chicken with celery and dressing in a large bowl. Add more mayonnaise or reserved chicken broth if needed.

Cover and chill the chicken salad for at least 2 hours before serving. Stir well before serving.
