Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and add enough cold water to cover the chicken by 2 inches.
Add 2 tablespoons of the salt. Measure 2 tablespoons of the onion to the pan with the chicken. Bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer and is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
Drain and rinse the cooked chicken breasts under cold water until cool to the touch, then pat dry with paper towels.
Shred the chicken and place it in a large bowl.
Add the reserved minced onion along with the celery and celery leaves. Toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, horseradish, if using, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the pepper, and the lemon juice. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the chicken until thoroughly mixed.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The chicken salad can be made up to 3 days in advance.
