Method
Chicken salad
Step 1
Place chicken in crockpot. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, minced garlic, dried dill, dijon mustard.
Step 2
Add Prosecco to half cover the chicken.
Step 3
Spread the spices/mustard mixture out over the chicken a bit with a rubber spatula.
Step 4
Cover and cook on high for about 2.5-3 hours until chicken reaches 165º (or on low for double the time)
Step 5
Use a hand mixer (or two forks) to shred chicken. Add chopped pistachios, green onion, shallot and basil.
Step 6
Leave lid off, and reduce heat to low. Mix up dressing in this time. (if making dressing ahead of time, allow chicken to simmer with lid off for about 5 minutes to remove additional moisture)
