Chicken Harvest Salad Food

HARVEST CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken breasts and reduce the heat slightly, to maintain a steady boil. Cook the chicken for 25-35 minutes, until cooked through.
• Use tongs to remove the cooked chicken from the water and place on a cutting board to let cool for 10 minutes.
• Chop the chicken into 1/2-inch cubes - or smaller for a smaller dice for the salad. Let cool completely.
• In a large bowl, combine the chicken, spinach (if using), apple, pecans, dried cranberries, mayo and Greek yogurt, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Season to taste with extra salt and pepper and add an extra tablespoon of mayo or Greek yogurt, if needed, to get to your desired level of creaminess.
• Serve on a salad, as a sandwich or wrap or with crackers and cheese. Enjoy!
