Equipment

  • 1 oven

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 stalk Celery, Thinly Sliced
  • 3/4 c. (or More) Roughly Chopped, Soaked And Dehydrated Pecans (or Toasted Pecans)
  • 3/4 c. Halved Grapes
  • 1/4 c. Sour Cream
  • 1/4 Lemon, Juiced
  • 3/4 c. Mayonnaise
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF. Place chicken on a baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper. Bake in preheated oven for about 23–25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF. Allow to cool completely and slice into bite-sized pieces.
    Place chicken, celery, apple, grapes, pecans, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a large bowl. Mix until well combined. Taste and add salt, pepper, and lemon juice if needed.
    Serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

This Waldorf salad recipe is pretty creamy, which is just how I like it. If you prefer a drier salad, cut back on the mayo or sour cream.
