Chicken Apple Salad Stuffed Avocados Food

CHICKEN AND APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven (do not flip the chicken); roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, mustard and honey in a large bowl. Gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup vegetable oil, whisking until emulsified.
• Remove the chicken from the bone; slice. Thinly slice the apples and add to the dressing along with the walnuts, escarole and endive; season with salt and pepper. Toss the salad and top with the chicken and cheese. Serve with bread.

CHICKEN APPLE SALAD STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Make the Whole30 ranch yogurt dressing. Crisp up the prosciutto over medium heat about 3 minutes per side, if using. Dice the cooked chicken breasts to cubes.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken, celery, scallions, and apple.
• Drizzle with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with dried thyme. Toss well.
• Slice the avocados in half and remove the pits. Place them over a large serving tray. Scoop 2-3 spoonfuls of the chicken apple salad into the avocado boat. Crush the crispy prosciutto and sprinkle them on top and all over. Enjoy it with a spoon!

CHICKEN STUFFED BAKED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Scoop out some of the flesh in the center of each avocado; place into mixing bowl. Add chicken, cream cheese, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper; mix well to combine. Scoop spoonfuls of chicken mixture into the wells of each avocado; top each with generous amount of Parmesan cheese. Place avocado halves, face-up, in muffin cups to stabilize.
• Bake avocados in preheated oven until cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.

APPLE-CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Bring stock and 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 2 minutes. Season chicken with salt and pepper; add to stock mixture. Simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 14 minutes. Remove chicken using a slotted spoon; discard liquid. Let chicken stand until cool enough to handle. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Stir together mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, the celery, apricots, almonds, if using, and apple in a medium bowl. Stir in chicken. Refrigerate chicken salad, covered, until cold, about 30 minutes. To serve in lettuce bowls, spoon about 1/2 cup chicken salad onto each leaf, using the smaller, inside leaves for kid-size portions. Any leftover chicken salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
