Ingredients
  

TO MAKE THE WALDORF CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE:

  • 1.25 lb. Chicken Breasts, seasoned and cooked
  • 1 cup Seedless Red Grapes, halved
  • 2 Celery Ribs, finely diced
  • 1/4 Small Red Onion, minced (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup Slivered Almonds
  • 2 tbsp. Freshly Chopped Italian Parsley
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp. Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice, (about 1/2 Lemon, squeezed)
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. White Pepper
  • Black Pepper, optional to taste

OPTIONAL FOR SERVING:

  • Croissants
  • Green Leaf or Butter Lettuce
  • Crackers

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken breasts according to your personal preferences (I used garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper). Sear and cook in a skillet or over a grill until internal temperature has reached 165F. Set aside to cool.
  • Prep the fruits, veggies, and herbs, then cut the cooled chicken into small chunks. Mix these with all ingredients listed in a large bowl (except for the black pepper) until fully combined.
  • Serve on its own, on top of lettuce leaves, with crackers, or on a croissant as a sandwich. Season with black pepper, if you’d like.
