Waldorf Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Serving suggestion: Baby greens, extra grapes, raisins and walnuts for garnish
• Coat the chopped apple with the lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the chicken, grapes, celery, raisins and walnuts, and gently combine.
• In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, orange juice and salt. Gently fold the dressing into the salad. Serve on a bed of greens.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the exterior and cavity liberally with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the garlic, carrots, celery stalk, lemon, onion and thyme. Tie the legs tightly with kitchen twine and fold the wing tips under the breasts. Place on a roasting rack in a deep pan and into oven. Roast until a digital read thermometer registers 165 degrees F and the juices run clear, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove and cool.
• Once cooled enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones. Shred against the grain with two forks. Cool completely.
• Whisk the mayonnaise, cream cheese and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl for about 30 seconds. Add the chicken, diced celery, grapes and apples. Toss to evenly coat. Fold in the walnuts, parsley and tarragon until thoroughly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble, use a preheated panini press on the highest setting. If unavailable, bring the oven to 400 degrees F and use two cast-iron skillets to form a press.
• Cut the focaccia quarters in half with a sharp serrated knife and arrange on a prep surface. Spoon about 1 1/4 cups of the chicken salad onto each bottom half. Replace the top half. Place onto the press and crisp until the bread is golden on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes. If using skillets, place the sandwich into the bottom pan, place the second skillet bottom on top of the sandwich and crisp, flipping halfway through the cooking process.
• To serve: Remove the sandwiches from the press or oven to a prep surface. Cut in half diagonally with a sharp serrated knife and arrange on serving plates. Enjoy immediately.

Steps:

• If using regular yogurt place the yogurt in a strainer lined with a paper towel. Put the strainer over a bowl and place in the refrigerator to drain and thicken for 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine the thickened or Greek-style yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt and thyme until smooth. Fold in chicken, grapes, walnuts and apples. Season with pepper.
• Place 1 lettuce leaf on a wrap. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the chicken filling onto wrap and roll wrap around filling.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange 3 racks evenly spaced in the oven.
• Place the chicken, skin side up, on a sheet pan. Rub with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast on the top rack for 35 to 40 minutes, until the internal temperature is 140 degrees. Set aside to cool, discard the skin and bones, and shred the chicken by hand into large, roughly 1 x 4-inch, pieces.
• 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.
• In a medium bowl or 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together 2/3 cup of olive oil, the vinegar, mustard, honey, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and set aside.
• In a large serving bowl, combine the frisee, kale, spinach, raisins, Cheddar, chicken, bacon, roasted nuts, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Before serving, grate the apple and add it. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently. Put the eggs on top, toss lightly, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Set the chickens on a rimmed baking sheet, sprinkle them all over with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, taken between the breast and thigh, about 1 hour.
• Allow to cool. With two forks, shred all the meat off the bone.
• In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, grapes, walnuts, celery, apples, chives, lemon juice and big pinches of salt and pepper. Toss well.
• To assemble the sandwiches: Fill a leaf of butter lettuce with some chicken salad. Sandwich the stuffed lettuce with two slices of bread spread with mayo. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches. Slice in half and enjoy.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Add the chicken, apples, grapes and celery.
• Toss to coat.
• Cover and chill.
• Sprinkle with walnuts just before serving.

Steps:

• Boil the penne for 12 mins until al dente. Meanwhile, make a dressing by mixing the yogurt with the vinegar, mustard and spring onions.
• Add the celery, cooked penne and chicken to the dressing and stir until everything is well coated.
• If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan and eating straight away, add half the walnuts and grapes to half the salad and serve with half of the crisp lettuce leaves, either as a base or as lettuce wraps. Keep the remainder in the fridge, well covered, for up to three days, then add the nuts, grapes and lettuce when ready to serve.
