How to Make Apple Annie S Tea Room S Chicken Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Wash two boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) and pat thoroughly dry.
  3. Place chicken breasts on a large foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Remove chicken from oven and let cool completely.
  5. Once cool, cut chicken into 1-inch cubes and transfer to a large bowl.
  6. Add 2 cups chopped celery, 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper, 2 tablespoons fresh dill, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, and 1/4 cup mayonnaise.
  7. Gently but thoroughly stir all ingredients to combine.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill. Serve and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
