ChatGPT's Chicken Salad

Ingredients:2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 cup red grapes, halved
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese (optional)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

(Andre's commentary: This looks promising... roasting your own chicken is way better than having someone else roast it on a commercial scale. )


Place chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

(No seasoning other than salt and pepper, at 375 for that long? Be careful-- watch the internal temp like a hawk, but keep the oven door closed, so use a probe thermometer if you want to do this. )

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

(What is there to whisk?? Relative to how much chicken we've prepared, those amounts are way out of proportion. Make double,  if not quadruple, the amount of dressing GPT calls for)


Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat.

(Ok, fair point, yes, but, again, there's not nearly enough dressing as written.)

Add the chopped celery, halved grapes, chopped pecans, and crumbled blue cheese (if using) to the bowl. Toss to combine.

(Why toss twice? Don't do any work in a kitchen you don't absolutely need to do. This is unnecessary work. Just combine everything, and toss once)

Serve the salad immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
