1.5 teaspoons of premium extra-virgin olive oil

Chicken Salad Recipe Inspired by Deli Style Initial Stage:
To prepare the chicken breasts and thighs, lightly coat them with oil. Season with granulated onion, crushed black pepper, and sea salt for added flavor.
What Comes Next:
Evenly distribute the mixture in a baking dish and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the thickest part of the breast reaches 165°F on a thermometer. Remove from the oven.
The Next Stage:
Before placing the chicken in the refrigerator for an hour, let it ten minutes to cool down. Divide the chicken into quarter-inch-long by half-inch-wide pieces when it has cooled. Do the same with the thighs and breasts. Combine the chopped chicken, celery, and mayonnaise in a big bowl and stir to combine.
The Next Stage:
Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. The chicken salad tastes even better the following day after the flavors have had time to blend.
Stage Five:
When you’re ready to season, add additional salt and pepper to taste. Savor every bite!
