Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

If roasting the chicken in the oven, place the chicken breasts on a baking tray and season with salt and pepper. If poaching the chicken, place a large pot of water on the stovetop and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the chicken and boil for 15-20 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees is reached. Once the chicken breasts are cooked, place them on a cutting board and dice them into bite-size pieces. Place the chicken in a glass container and cool in the refrigerator. This step can be done ahead of time.
While the chicken is cooling, fry the bacon in a large skillet. Once slightly crispy and browned, remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Pat the bacon with a paper towel to remove any excess grease. Chop the bacon into bite-size pieces and add to a medium-sized bowl.
Chop the red onion and green onions and place them with the bacon in the bowl. Add the remaining ingredients. Once the chicken is completely cooled, add it to the bowl. I like to add about 2 cups of mayo to start and then add more if necessary. I am not a mayo lover so I prefer less while my husband lives for mayo and prefers more. Adjust to your liking. Mix well until everything is coated with mayonnaise.
Spread the chicken salad on a sandwich, on a bed of lettuce, or enjoy alone with crackers. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 7 days. Enjoy!

Notes

The Garden Ranch seasoning packet contains Himalayan pink salt therefore I do not recommend seasoning the chicken salad with any additonal salt.
