Make the salad: Place the chicken in a medium pot and cover it with water. Add the lemon and dill in the pot and cook the meat for around 10 minutes on a medium heat. Take the pot out of the heat and leave the meat side to chill. When the meat is cold enough to touch it with your hands, place it on a chopping board and cut it into small cubes. You can also cut the apple, onion and celery. Place all these ingredients in a big bowl and pour over the dressing and stir with a spoon until everything is covered with the dressing.
