First, we need to cook the chicken. Have your grown-up help you trim any fat or weird bits off the chicken tenderloins.
Next, place the tenderloins in a skillet and add the chicken stock.
Bring the stock to a boil over medium-high heat. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Once the chicken has cooled a bit, use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces in the skillet.
Next, scoop the shredded chicken into a large bowl. Add the mayo, celery, salt, pepper and ranch seasoning.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Now it's time to taste and adjust the flavors if needed! Does it need more mayo for creaminess? More ranch seasoning for tang?
Keep sampling and adding more of whatever it needs until you get the flavors just right.
There you have it - a yummy chicken salad ready to enjoy! You can serve it a few different ways:
