I admit…I’m not really a chicken salad fan (and neither is anyone in my family except my husband)…mostly because most recipes use canned chicken.
But…this one is good and made from chicken I cooked myself!
The other day I got a whole chicken and cooked it in the crockpot all day (I made chicken & noodle soup…so good).
But the chicken had quite a bit more meat on it than we really needed for our soup, so I saved it and used it to make this chicken apple salad.
It’s naturally gluten free and can be served in a lettuce leaf or on gluten free bread to keep it that way.
