Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins this yields about 2 cups of shredded chicken if subbing rotisserie chicken
- 1 large rib of celery finely diced
- ¾ cup mayonnaise I recommend Duke's for the closest taste to the original
- 3 tablespoons ranch use your favorite bottled ranch
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 3 tablespoons sliced green onions
- ½ cup bacon bits
- ½ cup shredded cheddar I recommend grating it yourself
Instructions
- Begin by adding water to a large pot. Add the chicken tenderloins into the water. Bring the water to a boil.
- Once the water has come to boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overcook or the chicken can become rubbery. The chicken should register at 165 degrees with a meat thermometer. You will also be able to tell it is done when you shred it.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the water and let it cool. Use two forks or use a stand or hand mixer to shred the chicken in a large bowl. I find that using a mixer is best because it is quicker and it helps get the chicken very fine.
- Next, use your food processor to dice your celery into fine pieces.
- Add the mayonnaise, ranch, and seasonings to the shredded chicken. Stir well.
- Stir in the celery, cheddar, bacon bits, and green onions.
- Serve with bread, crackers, or on a salad.
