I think it’s been too long since I posted a chicken salad recipe! They are seriously one of my favorite things which is why I already have a Caesar Chicken Salad, Mixed Berry Pecan Chicken Salad, Sonoma Chicken Salad, Cashew Curry Chicken Salad… Okay there are more but you get the idea!! This one is loaded with herbs, a delish crunch from apples and then toasted pine nuts because.. why not? I prepped this on the weekend and have been eating it all week – on salads, on sweet potato toast, and straight out of the tupperware of course. It is crazy how a little bit of prepping on Sunday can set us up for such a successful week of eating yet I rarely do it. Something about Sunday usually has the couch calling to me!
This chicken salad is extra great if you use the Herb Stuffed Instant Pot Whole Chicken recipe I posted the other day! It adds a whole other layer of flavor which is amazing, but you can use any rotisserie chicken you want or even just chopped up chicken breasts.
