Step-by-Step Method

6-step method
01

Simmer the chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a pot and pour in both broths. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer 12–15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

02

Cool and shred

Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it cool for 5 minutes. Shred with two forks or dice. Save 2–3 tablespoons of the broth in case you want the salad a bit juicier.

03

Sauté the vegetables

Warm the olive oil in a large skillet. Cook the sliced onion for 2–3 minutes to soften. Add mushrooms and sauté 6–8 minutes, stirring, until their moisture releases and mostly cooks off.

04

Add seasoning

Stir in garlic and dried rosemary and cook 30–45 seconds, just until fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper, then turn off the heat.

05

Combine and chill

Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and toss gently to combine. If needed, add 1–2 spoonfuls of the reserved broth to adjust moisture. Transfer to a bowl and chill 15–20 minutes before serving.

06

Serve

Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve cool or slightly warm.
