Ingredients

  • 4 split (2 whole) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
  • Good olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup good mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
  • 1 cup small-diced celery (2 stalks)
  • 1 cup green grapes, cut in 1/2

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside until cool.

When the chicken is cool, remove the meat from the bones and discard the skin and bones. Cut the chicken into a 3/4-inch dice. Place the chicken in a bowl; add the mayonnaise, tarragon leaves, celery, grapes, 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss well.

    Juicy chicken every time!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Ina's method for roasting chicken breasts result in the juiciest, most flavorful chicken! I have started using this method... for any cooked chicken I need for a recipe. Each and every time the chicken is way better than poaching, and makes grocery store rotisserie chicken look like rubber. Easy and yummy! THANKS INA!!!Read more

    Favorite Chicken Salad Ever

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The search stops here. This is the best chicken salad! It is almost identical to the chicken salad at my favorite bakery. ... I followed the recipe exactly and then added some slivered almonds that I had toasted in a dry pan for a little extra crunch. I am so happy to finally have the only chicken salad recipe I will ever need. Thanks Ina! You are the best.Read more

    Less IS better!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I always roast chicken I plan to use with dumplings so I did not need any convincing to opt for roasting over poaching in... water. However, this recipe is so deliciously simply I can't believe it is so great. So few ingredients for such a perfect solution to the need for a light evening meal. I added a few marinated carrots and olives on the side as well as Garlic and Herb Toppers (crackers). The crispy crunch of the celery and the creamy mayo provide a lovely texture. It took so little time to prepare it was a pleasure to serve.Read more

    Chickenk Salad

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made the chicken salad this way and it was good, but I then made it with her other chicken salad ingredients like the sour... cream and walnuts and pecans and it was fabulous. I love this way of cooking the chicken. It is so moist and tender. I used it that way for my chicken spaghetti. Ina's other recipe is called Chicken Salad Contessa. Try it.Read more
