This chicken salad is fresh and delicious with roasted chicken breasts, herbs, and a little lemon juice in the mayonnaise mixture.

Ingredients

• 3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 0.5 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
• 1.5 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
• 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Line a baking pan with nonstick foil or spray foil with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 400 F/200 C/Gas 6. 
3. Arrange the chicken breasts on the baking pan and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake for about 15 minutes.
4. Turn and continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked but not overcooked. The minimum safe temperature for chicken is 165 F/73.9 C.
