ONION CHICKEN SALAD
INGREDIENTS
4 cups cooked, shredded chicken (about the amount from a rotisserie chicken if you’re using one)
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
3/4 to 1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
FOR THE CARAMELIZED ONIONS
3 cups diced onions
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by making the caramelized onions. Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions, salt, pepper and thyme then stir and cook for 20 minutes until browned. Stir often so the onions don’t burn.
Remove the onions from the skillet to let cool.
In a large bowl, add the chicken, celery, scallions, sunflower seeds, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, cumin, garlic powder and pepper.
Stir to combine, then stir in the cooled caramelized onions.
Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour or until ready.
Stir again before serving.
