Chicken, bacon, and celery salad

Description

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the prepared sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes. Push the bacon to one side of the sheet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place it on the baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is browned and the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain excess fat. Let the chicken cool. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, celery, celery leaves (if using), mayonnaise, and vinegar. Cut the chicken into pieces and add to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Serve the chicken salad with lettuce leaves and bacon.
