Categories     appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings of 2 appetizers each

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Water
16 cherry tomatoes
2 Granny Smith apples
1 teaspoon lemon juice, to keep apples from turning brown
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
16 very small leaves rosemary, for garnish

Steps:

  • Poach chicken in water and set aside to cool. Carefully slice off a small amount of the top of tomatoes (be careful not to remove too much) and scoop out seeds. (A 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon works well for this procedure.) Peel apples, remove core and chop fine, and coat with lemon juice. Chop cooled chicken fine, season with salt and pepper and cinnamon, and stir in mayonnaise and chopped parsley, mixing well. Spoon chicken salad into tomatoes and garnish with the rosemary leaves.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples offer unique flavors and textures, so using a mix of varieties will create a more interesting salad. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Gala.
  • Add some crunch: To add a crunchy element to your salad, try adding chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds. You could also add some celery or jicama for a refreshing crunch.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way, so be careful not to overdo it. You can always add more dressing if needed, but it's hard to take it out once it's been added.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
