Step 1

1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add the chicken and cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

2. Flip the chicken over, add the water, and cover. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until the thickest part of the chicken registers 160 to 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 6 to 8 minutes longer.

Step 3

3. Transfer the chicken breasts to a carving board and let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, shred or slice as desired.

Step 4

Whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, celery seed, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the chicken, celery, scallions, and parsley until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste and let sit until the flavors have blended, about 15 minutes, before serving.
