Chicken Salad My Way Recipe

Place the 1-inch piece of ginger and star anise in a pot of water over medium heat and bring to a boil. Add chicken to the water.

Lower heat to medium-low; simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the middle for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a plate to cool. Once cool to the touch, dice into bite-sized pieces.

Make a dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, salt, pepper, paprika, and honey; set aside.

Combine the diced chicken, celery, apple, onion, raisins, walnuts, and 2 teaspoons of minced ginger in a bowl.

Drizzle dressing into the chicken mixture; stir until pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
