CHICKEN-APPLE-WALNUT SALAD WITH HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING
Served at the 1870 Wedgwood Inn in New Hope Boro, Pennsylvania, this simple chicken salad combines common ingredients in a less-than-common way, and with great results. If you happen to have some cooked chicken in your fridge (or perhaps a rotisserie chicken), you could probably save time by simply shredding that and using it instead of the freshly cooked diced chicken. NOTE: Cook time is chill time for the prepared salad.

GRILLED APPLE HONEY CHICKEN
Found in an old flyer and tried it out. My kids loved the hint of apple flavor. Great grilling recipe for those summer days when you don't want to turn on an oven. Can be prepared in the oven under a broiler...4-6 inches from broiler - broil 15-20 minutes occasionally basting with glaze. ***For the Chef who asked - it is 1/3 cup apple jelly (not applesauce) that is the first ingredient - it is not showing up in the recipe even though it is there in the "edit tool" -- I tried to zmail you but you are not accepting outside zmails from another chef. I hope you find this note! ******

Steps:
- Spray grill racks with non-stick spray and then preheat grill.

- When ready to BBQ, brush chicken with jelly mixture and place on gas grill over medium heat (or on charcoal grill 4-6 inches from medium coals).
- Cook for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked (180F) - turning often so chicken does not burn on the outside and baste often with jelly mixture. (Throw away any leftover jelly mixture due to cross contamination).

HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN BREASTS WITH APPLE SLICES
Our family loves honey mustard, and it is a natural with chicken breasts since they are mild and absorb the flavor so well. Just make sure they are skinless and can absorb the sauce (plus they are so much healthier that way!) This is a favorite fall and winter dish for us, or when we have guests!

- 5. When chicken is cooked thoroughly, extract 1 1/2-2 cups broth from saucepan and mix with honey mustard mixture in bowl to prepare a sauce. Stir in 2 teaspoons of cornstarch until absorbed completely sauce is smooth; cook mixture in a small saucepan over low heat until thickened. Slowly add additional teaspoon of cornstarch only if needed.

- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
