Description
A delightful salad combining savory chicken, sweet grapes, and crunchy nuts, perfect for lunch or light dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 2 cups seedless grapes (red or green)
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp fresh herbs (dill or parsley), chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water for 15-20 minutes until no longer pink. Allow to cool before shredding.
- While the chicken cooks, wash grapes and chop celery.
- In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Add shredded chicken, grapes, celery, nuts, and herbs to the dressing. Gently fold until well combined.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving on bread or lettuce leaves.
Notes
For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. To save time, rotisserie chicken can be used. For added flavor, let sit in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
