Instructions
In a bowl, toss along the chicken, celery, scallions and herbs. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, mustard and pepper for more taste. Raise the chicken and mix gently until combined. Refrigerate until able to serve.
Serve on a bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes, in 1/2 an avocado or in a chicken club sandwich created with artisan bread, crispy smoked bacon, vine-ripened tomatoes and lettuce.
Add the thyme, parsley, onion, carrot, celery, and chicken breasts in a medium cooking pan. Cover it with broth, and bring simplicity to a boil. Lower the heat so it can boil completely, and cover the saucepan. Poach the chicken for twenty minutes or till firm to the touch. Take away the pan from the heat, uncover it, and cool the chicken in the liquid for half-hour.
Transfer the chicken to a chopping board and reserve the liquid. Bone and skin the chicken and cut the meat into one-inch cubes. Discard the bones and skin.
Strain the broth and store it, covered, in the refrigerator for three days or freeze it for later use. Remove any fat from the surface of the broth before using. Yield: four cups cubed chicken or four to six servings
