Chicken is loaded with protein and is a great option for a lunch salad.

Tarragon is a bright herb that adds punchy, bright flavors to this protein filled salad.

A flavorful chicken salad that is perfect for lunch:
I chose to use just tarragon for this recipe and not a combination of herbs, because tarragon has unique, distinct flavor that can stand on it’s own. Make a batch of this tarragon chicken salad and pack it into your fridge for quick lunches or snacks throughout the week.
Tip!
Only chop the tarragon herb leaves 3 times when instructed in recipe below

Tarragon is strong in flavor, yet delicate when it comes to the actual composition of the herbs leaves
Herbaceous Lemon Flavor Combo…
By adding fresh lemon peel to the water, you release fragrant citrus oils into the water during the cooking process. Bay leaf adds subtle layers of flavors to the salad before you have even sliced the chicken! This technique results in a chicken salad bursting with bright flavor notes.
These little steps cut down on your time spent in the kitchen immensely.
Tarragon and green onions work perfectly here, a minimal dollop of mayonnaise pulls all of the ingredients together for a quick, scrumptious, bright chicken salad. This recipe is perfection on rye bread with avocado and arugula for a quick lunch. This is a recipe you will make again and again! So make sure to save it!

Storing The Chicken Salad:
This chicken salad will store for 4-5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
This chicken salad is so satisfying and can be served with crunchy crackers, on top of a crisp bed of lettuce or open faced on top of rye with a garnish of frisee greens (my personal favorite!)
I have post all about my love of 100% Rye Bread especially when it is paired with this salad.
Looks easily done and full of flavor!
