Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 3)1 cup finely chopped celery1/2 cup mayonnaise1 tablespoon Dijon mustard1/4 cup finely chopped red onion1/4 cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted2 tablespoons chopped tarragon1 tablespoon lemon juice1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add chicken, cover and return to a boil. Boil chicken for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the chicken steep, covered, until no longer pink in the thickest part of the breast, 8 to 12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a plate and let cool for approximately 20 minutes. (The chicken can be prepared a day ahead of the rest of the salad, if desired.)

In a medium bowl combine celery, mayonnaise, mustard, onions, almonds, tarragon, lemon juice and pepper and stir to blend. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes, then fold it into the mayonnaise mixture.
