Large mixing bowl
Airtight container
- 1 cup red grapes cut in half or quartered based on size
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 cups cooked chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup celery finely chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup red apple diced into small chunks
- 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1/2 cup pecans coarsely chopped
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Start by gathering all your ingredients. It’s essential to have everything in one spot; it makes the cooking process smoother.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, honey, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency. This blend is the heart of your chicken salad.
Now, fold the diced chicken breast into the sauce. You want to ensure each piece is coated well. This will serve as the tasty base of your sandwich.
Next, toss in your chopped celery and pecans. Their crunch perfectly complements the chicken. And don’t forget those grapes and apples! They bring natural sweetness and juicy textures.
Sprinkle in salt and fresh black pepper according to your taste preferences. This step can really elevate the flavor, so don’t hold back.
Cover your bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows flavors to meld together and enhances the overall taste.
Once the salad is chilled, it’s time to build those sandwiches. Spread the chicken salad onto your bread of choice, then press down gently. Cut into halves or quarters to serve.
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh chicken and crisp vegetables for the best taste.
- Chill Before Serving: Giving time for flavors to meld improves the taste.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Try including dried cranberries, walnuts, or different types of apples.
- Use Artisan Bread: A crusty loaf or soft brioche can transform your sandwich experience.
- Make Ahead: It keeps well, making it perfect for meal prep.
