1st: You may fry, boil, grill, bake or roast your seasoned chicken breasts. Wait until they are quite cold. Having removed all the skin and fat, and disjointed the chicken, cut the meat from the bones into very small pieces, not exceeding an inch. Wash and split two large fine heads of celery and cut the white part into pieces also about an inch long; and having mixed the chicken, celery and lettuce together, put them into a deep dish, cover it and set it away.

2nd: It is best not to prepare the dressing until the salad is ready to be eaten, that it may be as fresh as possible. So if you’re ready to eat your chicken salad, start preparing the dressing, by getting ready the yolks of eight hard-boiled eggs. Put them into a flat dish, and mash them to a paste with the back of a wooden spoon. Add to the egg a small teaspoonful of fine salt, the same quantity of cayenne pepper, half a gill of made mustard, a tablespoon of vinegar, and one wine-glass of sweet oil. Mix all these ingredients thoroughly; stirring them until the mixture is smooth. Pour the salad dressing on the chicken salad, and mix the whole together with a fork. Chicken salad can be accompanied with plates of bread and butter.

Enjoy!
