For the Chicken Salad:
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Cook the Chicken
- Poach the chicken breasts in simmering water seasoned with salt and pepper for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Allow to cool before shredding or chopping into bite-sized pieces.
- 2. Prepare Your Dressing
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 3. Chop Your Veggies
- Finely chop the celery into half-inch pieces for that satisfying crunch.
- 4. Combine Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped celery, halved grapes, and walnuts (if using). Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and gently toss until everything is well coated.
- 5. Chill
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld.
- 6. Serve
- Serve chilled in bowls or on lettuce leaves. Enjoy your refreshing chicken salad as is or paired with crackers for added texture!
