Nutritious Round Swamp Farm Chicken Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast diced
- 1/2 cup celery finely chopped
- 1/2 cup red grapes halved
- 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds toasted
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Chicken
- Start by cooking your chicken breasts if you do not have any already. Season them with salt and pepper, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked. Let them cool before dicing.
Step 2: Toast The Almonds
- While the chicken is cooking, toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat.
- When they are fragrant and golden brown, stir them often for three to five minutes. Set aside to cool.
Step 3: Combine The Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, chopped celery, halved grapes, red onion, and toasted almonds.
Step 4: Make The Dressing
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 5: Mix Everything Together
- Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture. Gently toss until everything is well coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 6: Chill And Serve
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- When ready to serve, garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your Round Swamp Farm Chicken Salad on a bed of greens, in a sandwich, or simply on its own!
