How to make a Classic Chicken Salad | Homemade Recipe | Mattie's Kitchen

Cut up the chicken breasts and thighs.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.

Add a couple of bay leaves and a little water to the pot.

Turn on the stove and let the chicken steam for about 35-40 minutes, checking to ensure it doesn't burn.

After 15 minutes, taste the chicken to check if it's done.

Once cooked, shred the chicken or cut it into cubes after letting it cool in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

In a bowl, mix 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1 cup of plain whole milk yogurt together.

Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar to the mixture.

Stir the mixture well and adjust seasoning as needed.
