- Shred chicken, discarding skin and reserving bones. In a medium pot, bring chicken bones and 9 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 1 1/2 hours. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof container; let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for use in Baked Polenta with Sausage and Artichoke Hearts and Tortellini Soup with Peas and Spinach.
- Meanwhile, stir together apple, cucumbers, scallions, and mayonnaise. In a large skillet, heat chicken, mustard, vinegar, honey, and 1/4 cup water over medium-high, tossing to combine, until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, crisp cucumbers. English cucumbers or Persian cucumbers are ideal for this slaw.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will help you get thin, even slices of cucumber and apple.
- Don't overdress the slaw: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Add just enough to coat the vegetables, and taste as you go.
- Chill the slaw before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the slaw with your favorite grilled meats or fish: It's also a great addition to tacos or sandwiches.
