Lightly smoked, chilled chicken salad with versatile uses in sandwiches or salads.
Ingredients:
  • 5 pounds chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon celery salt
  • 1 pound celery, diced
  • 1 medium red onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 30 ounces mayonnaise
Instructions:
  • Simmer chicken breasts in a pot of water for around 40 minutes until fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle.
  • Preheat your outdoor charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate and place approximately 10 coals off to one side. The coals are ready when they have a light dusting of white ash.
  • Place the hickory chips in a container or on aluminum foil over the coals. Grill the chicken breasts on the preheated grill, positioning them away from direct heat.
  • Smoke the chicken until a gentle smokiness is achieved, for no longer than 15 minutes. Then, let the chicken cool on a plate for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Dice the chicken breasts and season with pepper and celery salt. In a large bowl, combine diced celery and red onion. Add the chicken breasts 3 at a time, sprinkle with a pinch of caraway seeds, and mix well. Stir in the mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
