Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 5 strips of bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped green onion
- 1/2 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in a medium saucepan. Cover them with cold water, ensuring they’re submerged by at least 1 inch.
- Put the pot on the stove uncovered and bring the water to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with a lid. Let it simmer for 14 minutes before removing from heat.
- While the chicken cooks, fry the bacon in a pan over medium-low heat until crispy.
- Once cooked, place the bacon on a towel to drain excess grease. After a few minutes, chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped green onion, and black pepper.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the water and shred it using two forks on a plate or cutting board.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayo mixture, quartered cherry tomatoes, and chopped bacon.
- Mix all ingredients until evenly combined. Enjoy immediately or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
Can add diced avocado or chopped lettuce for extra crunch. Store in airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
