1 bay leaf

For the salad

½ cup mayonnaise
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 stalks celery, finely diced
2 tbsp red onion, finely minced
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

8 slices sandwich bread, toasted
4 leaves romaine or butter lettuce
1 medium tomato, sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add the salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part, about 15–18 minutes.
2
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and discard the bay leaf and poaching liquid. Let the chicken rest until cool enough to handle, about 20–30 minutes, then chop or shred into bite-sized pieces.
