CHICKEN-APPLE-WALNUT SALAD WITH HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING



Chicken-Apple-Walnut Salad With Honey Mustard Dressing image

Served at the 1870 Wedgwood Inn in New Hope Boro, Pennsylvania, this simple chicken salad combines common ingredients in a less-than-common way, and with great results. If you happen to have some cooked chicken in your fridge (or perhaps a rotisserie chicken), you could probably save time by simply shredding that and using it instead of the freshly cooked diced chicken. NOTE: Cook time is chill time for the prepared salad.

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2-2 lb boneless chicken breasts
1 c honey
1 1/2-2 c bread crumbs
1 c ground walnuts
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Roll chicken in honey, then mixture of walnuts and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, and ginger will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use light breading: A light breading will help the chicken to cook evenly and stay crispy.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil: Frying the chicken in hot oil will help to create a crispy outer layer.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy chicken.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Honey walnut chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked, while the chicken is still crispy and the sauce is still hot.
