Recipe Of The Week 4/1: Cranberry Chicken Salad on Apple Slices
Yields 4 Servings
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces cooked chicken breast
- 1/4 cup celery, sliced
- 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon red onion, chopped
- 2 medium sweet red apples, sliced into rounds, then cored
Directions:
- Prepare the Chicken Salad: In a medium bowl combine the chicken with celery, mayonnaise, chicken broth, cranberries and red onion, and stir until combined. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the Apples: When ready to eat, slice the apples into 1/4 inch thick slices, then remove the seeds. (I used a piping tip). It’s best to eat right away so they don’t turn brown, but if you are planning to eat later, you can toss the apple slices in a little lemon juice.
- Assemble: Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad onto each apple slice and enjoy!
