Chicken Salad With Apples Sandwich Recipe

This hit the spot! We like to instant pot or slow cook chicken to make sandwiches with, and this recipe was delicious. I made more sauce since we like our chix sammies saucy. Will definitely make again!

I am looking to feed my young vegan who used to love chicken salad. Have you ever come across a suitable substitute for the chicken in a chicken salad? I realize this sounds like a ridiculous question , I do. Thank you! Love your meal plans.

Depending on the ingredients (and how much!), chicken salad can definitely be healthy and a great choice for lunch or dinner. The biggest culprit of making it unhealthy is the mayonnaise and how much you use, since it is high in fats and calories.

I Love this chicken salad. I used the sour cream instead of yogurt and I also used chick Fila sauce in place of the mustard and seasoned to taste. I added grapes and apples and a little sweet relish! Very yummy!

I love this recipe! Delicious exactly as is but also very adaptable and versatile. I added dried cherries instead of cranberries and sour cream instead of yogurt once and it was delish. The hank you for this lovely base recipe to play with.

I have been trying to adventure with different chicken salads lately because I got bored with my usual celery with grapes style. I saw this recipe and was excited to try it! It was everything I thought it would be! This is my second time making it and it is my familys new favorite! I use a rotisserie chicken and double the ingredients becaue we go through it so fast!

Served on a bed of baby spinach leaves, helps get more greens in the family diet. Offered options to add to the spinach, sliced radish, jicama sicks and seeded cucumber sticks. I added to the dressing a bit of celery and chia seeds, (a plant based protein source), and halved dk red grapes. I made extra dressing just in case the add ons needed more. Mini croissants served on the side from Winco bakery dept. Used a store roasted chicken with little salt added to it for the breast meat.

I find that this recipe also works well for a party appetizer or a simple snack when paired with crackers and/or fresh-cut veggies. Cucumber, celery, carrot sticks, and sliced bell peppers are my go-to.

The best way to prevent apples from turning brown is to add lemon juice to them. If you are storing this chicken salad for later, I suggest spritzing the apple slices with a little bit of lemon juice before adding them to your salad.

To prevent your chicken salad from becoming too runny, I suggest making sure the apples and celery are thoroughly dry. I dry the produce after I wash it, but I also go back and squeeze the chopped produce gently in a paper towel right before adding it to the salad.

As I mentioned, this is one of my go-to casual dinners. One of the best things about making chicken salad sandwiches for dinner is that the prep work can be done ahead of time so you can rest in the evening. I make the chicken salad in the afternoon, so all I have to do is assemble the sandwiches at dinner time.

My husband and I love this recipe! We made it several times last summer. Using rotisserie chicken (Kroger even sells it chunked) makes this the easiest, quick recipe. Do take the extra few minutes to toast the pecans; it does make a difference. I shared a batch with a friend who was recovering from surgery and it was greatly appreciated.

It feels like fall in the midwest these days which means I am breaking out all my pumpkin and apple recipes. Fall also means I am running around like crazy because my kids are in all the activities. So, I need super simple recipes that we can eat around the table or on the run. This homemade chicken salad recipe fits the bill and is a fan favorite.

For this recipe, I love to use leftover chicken breasts to make it extra quick. Read more about how I make a bunch of chicken here. You can either grill up, cook it in the instant pot or slow cooker. You can even use pre-cooked chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken. Once, you have cooked the chicken, shred or chop it and set it aside in a medium bowl.

Once, you have mixed all the ingredients together grab your favorite bread and liberally slather the chicken salad between two bread slices, slice up and serve. You can also serve it atop a bed of lettuce or alongside some crackers.

Many have asked if there is an alternative for the creamy dressing. You can use miracle whip or plain greek yogurt as a substitute. I will tell you my family can taste the difference so I always use mayonnaise. I believe the mayonnaise makes for a delicious chicken salad myself.

This chicken salad is best eaten immediately but can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The next time you need a simple, quick meal, add these ingredients to your grocery list (need a grocery list pad? get yours here) and grab the ingredients at the grocery store.

Homemade chicken salad will last three to five days in the refrigerator when placed in an airtight container. Make sure not to leave it out on the counter for more than two hours; if left at room temperature for too long, there is potential for bacteria growth and food poisoning.

After the breasts are done, I turn them over once more, re-cover with the foil I used earlier, and place the baking dish on a rack to cool the chicken. Once the meat is cooled, I cut the chicken into small cubes and set aside.

Oven baked chicken breast, crisp apples, crunchy celery, hearty pecans, and tangy rice vinegar give this apple chicken salad texture and depth of flavor. Make several hours in advance of serving to allow time for chilling for the best tasting results. Serve as a sandwich, a wrap, or as a salad entree for either lunch or a no-cook dinner on a hot summer evening.

Cut apples into 10 round 1/4-inch-thick slices. (Discard seeds and cores.)In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, mayo, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well. Add chicken, onion, chopped cranberries, and pecans, and stir to mix and coat.Evenly divide chicken mixture among five apple rounds, and top with remaining five apple rounds to form the sandwiches.

Chicken Salad with Apples is a refreshing twist on the classic. The bright clean flavor of crunchy apples stands out among tender shreds of juicy chicken, and a creamy seasoned sauce in this easy recipe.

There are things in life we need more of: kindness, generosity, and salads that don't include lettuce. So I guess making a good chicken salad and giving it away to a friend is the type of thing Nobel Peace Prizes are made of. Really, I can't get enough of chicken salads, they are quick and easy to prepare, pack a ton of flavor and can be enjoyed in a variety of different ways.

Chicken salad with apples is not a traditional salad built on a bed of lettuce, but rather a mayo-based creamy salad that combines shredded chicken, vegetables, sweet apples, and walnuts. This is often enjoyed on its own, or as a sandwich for a tasty lunch.

I find it is best to mix all of the dressing ingredients first, without the chicken, or other chunky vegetables and nuts. The reason for doing this is not only to allow the creamy dressing to mix more evenly but also as the chicken is mixed it tends to break apart into increasingly smaller shreds.

The smaller the shreds, the less creamy the chicken salad will be because there will be more surface area of the chicken mixture that needs to be covered. If you find your chicken salad with apples needs to be creamier for any reason, there is no harm in adding more mayo.

Chicken salad can be served in a small bowl and simply eaten with a fork, or you can serve it as a hearty sandwich with your favorite bread, which is one of my favorite ways to enjoy it. I always recommend toasting your bread when serving a chicken salad sandwich, it adds better texture and it helps stand up to the creaminess of the salad. Croissants and ciabatta bread make the best chicken salad sandwiches.

Leftover chicken salad should be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator to keep odors from affecting the flavor. Leftovers should be eaten within five days for the best flavor and texture.

I have made this a few times and follow the recipe as is with the exception of I use the type of apple I have on hand. Today I had a Red Delicious! I use the whole apple because I really like the flavor of the apples. Also today I substituted pecans for the walnuts because that's what I had. This is a five star recipe to me!

In the mood for a classic salad recipe? We're not talking about the kind of salad with lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. In this case, we're talking about the type of salad with a creamy mayo base, chopped veggies, and some sort of protein. If those types of salads really speak to you, then we have the perfect recipe for you! Enter, this apple pecan chicken salad. This wonderful side dish or main course comes complete with chopped Granny Smith apples, pecans, and onions that give it the perfect amount of crunchiness in every single bite. We'd be lying if we pretended as though this wasn't one of our favorite salad recipes, and once it hits your lips, we have a feeling that you'll be saying the same.

After making your list and taking a trip to the store to get all of the ingredients, it's time to get to the actual prep part of the recipe. In this case, there is no cooking involved, which makes the process super easy and quick. Start by grabbing your cooked chicken breasts, a cutting board, and a sharp knife. Cut the chicken into small chunks. 2b1af7f3a8
