I like this chicken salad because it is chunky, crunchy, and light. While I prefer to leave the skin on the apple for color and nutrition, you could remove it.

A recipe from www.mizfrogspad.com. I sometimes add a tablespoon of fat free plain Greek yogurt to add additional moisture without adding fat. Cooking time is chilling time.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 ounces cooked chicken breasts
3 tablespoons pecans, chopped (or walnuts)
1 medium apple, finely diced
1/4 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients until well blended.
  • Chill for one hour and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. Different apples will give your salad different flavors and textures. For a sweet salad, use sweeter apples like Honeycrisp or Gala. For a tarter salad, use Granny Smith or Braeburn apples.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat.
  • Let the salad cool before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of greens. This will add extra freshness and crunch to the salad.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs or nuts. This will add extra flavor and color to the salad.

Conclusion:

Chunky chicken apple salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its variety of flavors and textures, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
