Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 medium yellow potatoes
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by boiling the potatoes. Wash and scrub the yellow potatoes thoroughly, then place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

While the potatoes cook, prepare the chicken. Mince the garlic cloves finely. In a skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Add them to the skillet with the garlic. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Cut the boiled potatoes into bite-sized chunks and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced green onions, chopped parsley, and the cooked chicken pieces.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Gently toss everything together until well coated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve cold or at room temperature, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
