Chicken Waldorf
Lunch is ready! This Chicken Waldorf is a one-bowl salad for quick lunch or dinner. I call it “one-bowl salad” because it’s literally combining all ingredients in one bowl. There is some chopping involved but all the work you put into making this salad is worth the effort. Make this, and don’t forget to comment below, let me know what you think, and give us a rating.

Tips
- To make it easier, buy rotisserie chicken with very minimal seasonings to make sure your Waldorf salad flavoring stands out and not the heavy seasoned cooked chicken.
- Or you can buy two chicken breasts and poach them, then shred or cut them into bite-sized pieces.
- Make sure to squeeze the lemon juice into the cubed apples to avoid browning.
- You can also use pecans instead of walnuts.
- Adding a teaspoon of sugar balances the flavor of this salad. You can also use a tablespoon of maple syrup if you don’t want to use granulated sugar.

Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Jen.
I’m a mom of 2 wonderful girls. I love to prepare and cook home-cooked meals. Cooking and planning your meals might sound like another chore added to your already long list of things to do. Believe me, I’ve been there. However, cooking more meals at home is worth all the effort. After years of cooking for my family and teaching culinary classes, I can honestly say that I have more control over the quality of the ingredients I use. That means I’m eating a lot better. Eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and you don’t have to eat the same thing repeatedly. There are ways we can do and naturally enhance the flavor of our food and enjoy home-cooked meals.
