Ingredients

For the chicken salad:

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless and skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the lunch boxes:

  • crackers, I used gluten-free crackers
  • cucumbers or carrots, sliced
  • fruit, such as grapes or berries
  • nuts, such as almonds

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts in a wide pot or deep skillet, then pour in enough water until chicken is completely submerged in water.
  • Bring pot to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove chicken from the water, then place on a cutting board and either chop the chicken into cubes or shred the chicken with two forks.
  • Place chopped or shredded chicken into a large bowl and let cool completely.
  • Once cool, add in all remaining chicken salad ingredients. Mix everything together until well combined.

For the lunch boxes:

  • Add the chicken salad to the lunch boxes along with the veggies, fruit, and nuts. Then, store the crackers separately.
  • Store the chicken salad lunch boxes in the fridge for up to 4 days, and store the crackers separately at room temperature.
