  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
– 1 cup diced apples (granny smith or your choice)
– 1 cup diced grapes (green or red)
– 1 cup diced pineapple (fresh or canned)
– 1 cup diced strawberries
– ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
– ½ cup mayonnaise
– ¼ cup plain yogurt
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Chicken Fruit Salad is simple and straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: If using raw chicken, season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool before shredding.
2. Prep the Fruits: While the chicken cooks, wash and dice the apple, grapes, pineapple, and strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
3. Combine the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced apple, grapes, pineapple, strawberries, and walnuts (if using). Mix gently.
4. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a creamy dressing.
5. Mix Together: Pour the dressing over the fruit and chicken mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
6. Chill and Serve: If you have time, let the salad chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
7. Garnish: Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an attractive presentation.
