Steps

1. 1

   Place a steamer basket in a large pot with approximately 1 inch of salted water. Cover the pot and heat until the water reaches a boiling point. Once boiling, add the potatoes into the steamer basket, cover again, and steam until they reach a tender consistency, which should take around 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Begin by separating the breast meat from the chicken and discarding the skin. Slice the breast meat diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Proceed to remove the legs from the carcass, discard the skin, and slice the meat off the bones into 1/2-inch slices as well.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, mustard, pepper, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients together until smooth.
