Ingredients
  • Chicken breast - 1 large breast of about 350 gms, boneless & skinless
  • Red grapes - 200 gms (about 1 cup)
  • Celery stalk - 4 to 5
  • Red onion - 1, small
  • Plain Greek yogurt - ½ cup
  • Toasted & salted cashew - ¼ cup, roughly chopped
  • Dijon mustard - ½ tbsp
  • Fresh parsley - 1 tbsp, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Cook the chicken in a simple two-step process.
  2. First, bring a pot of generously salted water to boil and gently add the chicken breast. Poach it for 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook gently and stay juicy.
  3. Remove the chicken from the water and pat it dry. Heat a little olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Place the poached chicken breast in the hot skillet and braise for about 5 minutes, turning it occasionally, until the outside develops a beautiful golden-brown color on both sides.
  5. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before shredding it into bite-sized pieces. Make sure the cooked chicken is completely cooled before assembling the salad.
  6. Halve the grapes, finely chop the celery and red onion, roughly chop the salted cashews and parsley.
  7. Add the shredded chicken, halved grapes, chopped celery, diced red onion, Greek yogurt, chopped cashews, Dijon mustard and parsley to a large mixing bowl.
  8. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Gently toss everything together until the chicken and all the other ingredients are evenly coated in the creamy Greek yogurt mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning if required.
  10. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to come together and makes the salad even more refreshing.
  11. Give the chicken salad a gentle stir before serving and enjoy chilled!
