Chicken salad - just in time for the 4th of July. I’ve had to resurrect this recipe several times not because I like it (which I do) but because friends I’ve made it for rave about it and keep asking me to make it! I like serving this either on a sandwich with an heirloom tomato or on a bed of greens. I’m a fan of adding the tarragon, however, it’s not the easiest to come by fresh and the recipe is still amazing without it. I also add the shallots more often than green onions. You could try both! I suggest tasting a spoonful prior to serving to see if it needs more salt or other ingredients. I pan fry the chicken in coconut oil, salt and pepper and then add the droppings into the chicken salad for additional flavor.
