SIDE NOTES:

~  Of course, you have many different options for cooking the chicken.  Whatever works best for you is fine, and it doesn’t specifically have to be breast meat.  I’ve poached a whole chicken before & diced up some of it for chicken salad.  Up to you!

~  You can add a little celery or whatever else floats your boat.

~  Instead of using a creamy dressing, if you prefer, you can substitute some high quality mayo or simply use olive oil.

 For those avoiding certain foods, this recipe falls into the following categories:

Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Egg Free, Nut Free, Grain Free, Vegan, Sugar Free, Raw

If eating dairy free, use mayo or olive oil instead of a creamy dressing.  If eating gluten and/or sugar free, be careful with your choice of packaged goods such as mayo or dressing.  If eating egg free, use olive oil instead of a creamy dressing (unless you use one that doesn’t contain egg).
