Boil 2 pounds of chicken breast in salted water for about 5-6 minutes.

Check the chicken for doneness; if the thick end isn't done, boil for another 5 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool.

Tear the chicken apart with hands or dice with a knife for a different texture.

Chop up celery and set aside; will add to the salad later.

Chop red onions; can use yellow onions if preferred.

Prepare parsley for garnish and set some aside.

In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mustard, salt, pepper, and mayonnaise to taste.

Mix all ingredients together until well combined.

Taste for salt and adjust if necessary; garnish with parsley before serving.
