Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Place the chicken breasts in one layer in a baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a drizzling of olive oil. Add ½ cup of water, cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
Let the chicken cool at room temperature then chill, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to use. Once cold, cut into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, salt and pepper. Mix in the diced chicken, walnuts, grapes, and apple until well dressed. Taste for seasoning. Serve in a sandwich or over greens.

Chef Tips

Buy pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the supermarket if in a hurry.

Sub the chopped walnuts with toasted pumpkin seeds, if preferred.
