Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 red apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp), diced
- 1 cup seedless grapes (mixed red and green), halved
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Grill or pan-sear chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Let them cool before slicing.
- Prepare the Fruits: Slice apples into wedges and halve grapes. Toss in a large bowl to prevent browning.
- Make the Dressing: Whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Combine Everything: Chop the cooled chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add to the fruit mixture along with the dressing and stir gently.
- Chill (Optional): For enhanced flavor, chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve: Transfer salad to plates or serve family-style, topping with toasted nuts if desired.
