I boil about 4-5 boneless skinless chicken breasts in water with salt, pepper, thyme, and a little seasoning salt, while that boils I chop 1 onion, 1 clove of garlic and about 3 stalks of celery add all to bowl. After chicken is cooked through let it cool and chop up, add to bowl then add 2 big spoonfuls of mayo and salad dressing and a little bit of ranch dressing, mix all together, then add some shredded cheese and a little parsley. I never measure so add the dressings to your liking. I hope you like this, everyone in my family loves it.
