It’s completely up to you how you wish to prepare the chicken. Oftentimes, this salad is the best recipe to make with leftover cooked chicken, but you can also prepare the chicken from scratch and pan-fry it, boil it, or roast it. I chose to boil it, as I was pressed for time however, I find that roasting the chicken generates a much more flavorful end result. Either way, once it is cooked, chop it finely or even shred it if you prefer.
1 lb chicken breast
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cranberries, celery, grapes, walnuts, avocado, and apple. Give everything a good toss.
½ cup dried cranberries, 1 cup celery, ¾ cup green grapes, ½ cup walnuts, 1 avocado, 1 apple
In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
1 cup Paleo mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Pour the dressing into the large bowl with the chicken, fruits, and vegetables and combine everything well so that all the ingredients are coated in the dressing. And there you have it, an easy yet extremely tasty chicken salad! Enjoy it right away, or store it in the refrigerator.
