chicken salad
I picked up these amazing grapes the other day: champagne grapes. I have never seen organic ones. So, I was fired up to find these. For those of you who have never seen them, they are very, very small-miniature size grapes. And they are round instead of oval. Absolutely lovely. Of course, one of the first things that came to mind was chicken salad. My children love chicken salad with grapes in it. Who doesn’t? If you cannot find organic champagne grapes, you can substitute regular red seedless grapes (and half them). Just be sure they are organic. Grapes are one of the most heavily pesticided fruits.
2 organic boneless skinless chicken breasts, slow roasted, cooled and diced into small cubes
1/4 cup gluten free mayonnaise (I like Spectrum Canola Mayonnaise)
1/2 cup red champagne grapes/red grapes
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
salt & pepper
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a shallow baking pan with parchment paper. Place chicken on top. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until done. Remove the pan from the oven. Let chicken cool.
- When cool enough to handle, cut chicken breasts into 1/4 inch cubes. Place in a bowl. Add mayonnaise. Stir well to coat. Fold in grapes. Add optional walnuts.
- Serve on a bed of greens or with greens rolled up into a brown rice tortilla.
