¼ tsp fine sea salt

For the chicken salad

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
½ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
⅓ cup coconut cream
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
2 stalks celery, finely diced
3 scallions (green tops only), thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the chicken breast in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Add 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a low simmer and cook until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part, about 12–15 minutes.
2
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 10–15 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Shred or finely chop into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
