Waldorf Chicken Salad With Tarragon Dijon Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the Dijon mustard, olive oil, rosemary, thyme and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add the chicken and coat well with the mustard paste. Sprinkle the chicken from high above with salt and pepper (to ensure even distribution). Refrigerate for 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Put the chicken skin-side up in a large ovenproof skillet and add 1 cup of water. Roast until the skin is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 35 minutes. Let the chicken rest while you prepare the salad.
• For the vinaigrette: Pour 1/4 cup of the juices from the skillet into a large bowl along with the vinegar, shallots, Dijon mustard and tarragon. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the lettuce, toss to coat and season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad among 4 plates, top each with a piece of chicken and serve with bread for soaking up the flavorful juices.

• Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, vinegar, dill and scallions in a large bowl. Fold in the chicken, celery, apple, grapes, walnuts and raisins; season with salt and pepper.

• Place the bacon on a baking rack on a second sheet pan and roast below the chicken on the second oven rack for 20 to 30 minutes, until browned. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to cool. Cut in large dice. On a third sheet pan, combine the almonds, cashews, and walnuts and roast under the bacon for 10 to 12 minutes, tossing once, until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
