LOADED WALDORF CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Evaluate your chicken breasts. If they are really large (about 1/2 pound or more or if they're greater than 1" thick), they may need to be sliced in half lengthwise before poaching, to ensure that they cook completely. If the chicken breasts are on the smaller side, skip that.
• In a large skillet with a tight fitting lid add the peppercorns, cloves, allspice berries, kosher salt and slices of lemon. Add enough water to go about halfway up the pan. Place the skillet over high heat and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to a low simmer and add the chicken breasts. Cover tightly with the lid and cook at a low simmer for 4-5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the chicken poach in the liquid for an addiitonal 20 minutes. (Don't remove the lid).
• Check to see if the chicken is cooked through by slicing one in half. If it's still slightly pink in the middle, return them to the poaching liquid and bring to a simmer again. Place the lid on the skillet and turn off the heat to let the chicken rest for another 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Lay pecans on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly toasted and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
• Add celery, onion, chicken, grapes and apple to a large bowl and toss to combine.
• In a small bowl stir together lemon juice, mayonnaise and whole grain mustard. Stir in chopped tarragon, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the chicken into 1/2" dice.
• Transfer the cut chicken to a large bowl. Add the celery, chopped apple and grapes.
• Add mayonnaise mixture to chicken. Using a large spoon or spatula, fold the mayonnaise into the chicken until well coated.
• Roughly chop the pecans. Add the nuts to the chicken salad just before serving so they stay crunchy.
• Great served with toasted bread, brioche bun or on a bed of greens.

WHOLE30 CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Toast the nuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the nuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes (for almonds) or 8 to 10 minutes (for walnuts) until crisp, fragrant, and toasted. Set a timer and do not walk away from the oven during the last few minutes, as nuts can burn the moment you stop watching. If using almonds, transfer to a small bowl; if using walnuts, transfer to a cutting board, then let cool a few minutes and roughly chop.
• Place the diced chicken, grapes, celery, green onions, dill, and toasted nuts in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, add tahini, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk to combine. Add the apple cider vinegar, then the hot water, and stir until smooth. Add additional hot water 1 tablespoon at a time, until you have a smooth, pourable sauce that seems like a thick dressing.
• Pour the tahini mixture over the chicken mixture and toss to coat. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as desired. If time allows, refrigerate for 2 hours. Serve piled inside lettuce cups and enjoy!
