Ingredients for Chicken Salad with Ham and Celery

- 1 carrot

- 3.5 oz ham
- 2.8 oz Asiago cheese
- 2.8 oz ham
- 4 stalks celery
- 6 walnuts

Tools for Chicken Salad with Ham and Celery
- 1 Pot
- 1 Cutting board

Steps
First, place the carrot, onion, and celery cut into pieces in the pressure cooker (or a pot) with 5 glasses of water. Add the whole chicken breast and bring to a boil: at the whistle, continue cooking for 15 – 20 minutes.
If using a regular pot, it takes about 30 – 40 minutes.
Once cooked, let it cool and then cut it into pieces, shredding it. Strain the broth and set it aside. I pour it into glass jars and store them in the freezer: I take them out when needed.
Meanwhile, dice the cooked ham and the Asiago (or similar cheese, such as fontina, toma, feta ..); wash the celery, remove the strings, and cut it into thin slices.
Take a serving dish with high edges, add the chicken, diced ham, cheese, and celery: season with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Finally, chop the walnuts and place them on the salad, mixing gently.
Here is the Chicken Salad ready. Enjoy your meal!
Until the next recipe.
