Chicken Salad with Grapes and Apples

Chicken Salad with Grapes and Apples is smooth and delicious! The apples and grapes offer a sweet flavor and the celery a huge crunch.
So, obviously you must be thinking to yourself… Chicken again??? Yes, I got a great deal on chicken and bought a huge package. Then I was too tired to split up the package, so it all went into the freezer. So, when I defrosted it…. Viola!!! Enough chicken for a week.
But, this is my last chicken recipe for a while. I have lots of fun things on the menu for the next week. Tomorrow is a fantastic pizza that is low calorie. So, make sure you check back.
So, here we have a fantastic chicken salad served over 100 calories sandwich rounds. I served it with a Tomato Basil side salad. It was fabulous! There is such amazing flavors and textures going on in this sandwich. The apples and grapes offer a sweet flavor and the celery a huge crunch. The flavor is smooth and delicious! I could eat this every day. If you have leftover apples try our apple salad. You can also use up your grapes to make this amazing roasted grapes and sausage recipe.
Enjoy!
With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.

Mmmm, this sounds fantastic. I love chicken salad in pretty much any variation, I feel a craving coming on!
This looks excellent, Donna. I think I'll put it on the menu for next week. I love grapes and apples with my chicken salad.
Well done! I love fruit being used in any kind of savory form right now as theres so much in season. Looks well tasty.
Hey man, bring on the chicken 🙂 You can't go wrong with a staple ingredient! Awesome recipe!
You will never hear me saying chicken again.I use chicken meat often as I have my own.I am always gratefull to discover new recepies and yours looks great:)
These sound really good! You could add some pecans or almonds for added texture and protein if you would need it!
What a fantastic idea Erin. It tasted as good as it sounded with the pecans. I used a tablespoon of chopped pecans and it blended very well and gave the chicken salad another dimension of flavor! Thanks for the idea.
This chicken salad recipe is really good! I love the addition of the grapes and apples, it adds a great crunch to the dish! I will be making this more often!
