    Method: 

    Put potatoes, carrot and eggs in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Remove eggs after 10 minutes and run for a minute under cold water to stop the cooking. When carrot is tender, about 2 minutes longer, remove. When potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes longer, remove them. Add peas to boiling water and cook until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

    Chop eggs, carrot, and potatoes and place in a large mixing bowl. Add peas, pickles, chicken, green onions and parsley. Fold in mayonnaise and season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
