Instructions
Poach the Chicken:
- Bring a pot of water to a full boil and season liberally with sea salt.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully place the chicken inside the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove the pot from the heat, cover it with a lid, and allow the chicken to sit in the hot water for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
- To verify the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breasts.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to an airtight container and refrigerate until they are completely chilled.
Make the Chicken Salad:
- Once the chicken has cooled, chop the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Transfer the cooked chopped chicken to a large mixing bowl, along with the apple, grapes, celery, and pecans.
- Add the mayonnaise and Greek yogurt and stir well until everything is well coated in the creamy dressing.
- Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper over the chicken salad, mix well, and taste before adding any more. Serve the Waldorf chicken salad over a bed of greens or make lettuce wraps using butter lettuce or greens of choice.
Notes
- *I use gala apples or fugi apples, but any of your favorite types of apples will work, such as granny smith apples.
- **Avocado oil mayonnaise is my preference, but any brand will work.
- Store any leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
