Sprinkle a little salt on the chicken breast.

Boil enough water to cover the chicken in a pot.

Add about 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.

Submerge the chicken completely in the water and boil.

Turn the stove to medium temperature and cook for about 20 minutes, turning the chicken after the first 10 minutes.

Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a wire rack to cool for about half an hour.

Optionally, place the chicken in the refrigerator to cool faster.

In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, diced celery, chopped grapes, chopped green onions, dried tarragon, and fresh parsley.

Mix all ingredients well and add lemon juice, tasting for salt and adjusting as needed.

Place the mayonnaise mixture in the fridge until the chicken has cooled.

Once the chicken is completely cooled, cut it into small cubes.

Fold the cubed chicken into the mayonnaise mixture until well combined.

Serve the chicken salad on a Kaiser roll or over a green salad.
