Off" Chicken & Apple Salad with Georgia Pecans
Recipe developed by The Clever Cleaver Brothers®
Yields 4 to 6 portions
3 boneless, skinless chicken
breasts
olive oil as needed
salt, pepper & granulated garlic
Dressing
1 cup fat-free sour cream
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
Salad
2 green apples
2 red apples
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup chopped Georgia Pecans
1/2 cup raisins
- Preheat your barbecue grill to
medium. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts lightly with olive
oil and sprinkle salt, pepper and granulated garlic on both
sides. Place the chicken on the grill and cook on both sides
until thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. NOTE: if the weather
prohibits using the barbecue grill, cook the chicken in your
oven.
- Remove the cooked chicken from
the grill (or oven) and let cool. Cut the cooled breasts into
thin slices and then cut the slices into 2-inch pieces. Place in
a zipper-lock bag or plastic container and keep refrigerated
until needed. Note: you can do steps 1 and 2 in advance of salad
preparation.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine
the ingredients for the dressing. Cover and hold in the
refrigerator for later use.
- Rinse and core the apples. Dice
into 1-inch pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the
lemon juice to coat the apples. NOTE: The lemon adds flavor and
also helps keep the apple from turning brown.
- Add the celery, red onion,
pecans, sliced chicken and raisins. Add the dressing and
combine. Top with some whole Georgia Pecans for garnish. Enjoy!
