Description

This easy chicken salad with grapes recipe is a creamy and flavorful classic, perfect for sandwiches, meal prep, or picnics. It features tender shredded chicken, sweet grapes, crunchy pecans, and celery, all tossed in a tangy mayonnaise-based dressing with dill and apple cider vinegar.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts (about 1.25 lbs)
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 celery stalks, divided
  • 1 red onion, divided
  • 1 cup red grapes, quartered
  • 1/4 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Place chicken breasts in a medium saucepan and cover with chicken broth. Add 2 celery stalks (cut in half) and half of a red onion (roughly chopped). Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for about 15 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove chicken, let rest for 30 minutes, then shred.
  2. Prep the mix-ins: Finely dice the remaining celery stalk. Dice about 1/4 cup of the remaining red onion. Quarter the red grapes and roughly chop the pecans.
  3. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, dried dill, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar.
  4. Assemble the chicken salad: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, grapes, celery, onion, and pecans. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss to combine.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. This chicken salad with grapes is best served chilled.
