Ingredients

3 pounds chicken breasts whole
1 x salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups vidalia onions chopped
3/4 cup walnuts lightly toasted
1/4 cup scallions, spring or green onions finely chopped
3/4 cup cilantro finely chopped
1 1/3 cups mayonnaise
1 x black pepper to taste

Directions

Place the chicken breasts in a saucepan with enough water to cover.

Bring to a boil, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, reduce the heat, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Drain the chicken and allow to cool.

Remove and discard the skin.

Remove the chicken from the bones and tear the meat into shreds.

Place in a salad bowl and set aside.

Heat the oil in a medium-size skillet over medium-high heat.

Saute the onions, stirring, until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Drain the onions and add them to the chicken.

Cool to room temperature.

Add the walnuts, scallions, and cilantro to the chicken.

Toss with the mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper.

Serve the salad at room temperature.

Bev's Green Bean Casserole

I did not have the corn to add, but I made the rest as described and this was devoured over Christmas. Even by my Mother who despises CANNED green beans. She had 3 servings and asked for the recipe!
