Delight in this bold and zesty leftover fried chicken salad with a unique twist. Say goodbye to boring lunches with this satisfying culinary creation.
Ingredients:
- 2 5 oz. leftover boneless/skinless pan fried chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup plus 1Tbsp Greek Yogurt Sour Cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 medium sized apple, diced
- 1/3 cup grapes, halved

- 2 green onions, green and white parts, minced
- 1/4 cup toasted walnuts
- course kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Mix together the Greek yogurt sour cream and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a mixing bowl. For a smoother consistency in your chicken salad, consider incorporating more of the yogurt sour cream. Stir well to ensure thorough mixing.
- Cut the remaining chilled fried chicken breasts into small cubes. If the breading or batter had seasoning, use caution when adding salt and pepper later.
- Combine the diced chicken with the yogurt sour cream blend, along with the chopped apple, grapes, celery, scallions, and walnuts. Gently toss the ingredients together and season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- This delightful salad can be enjoyed on a bed of mixed greens or between two slices of homemade bread to create a delicious sandwich. For an added tangy twist, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the top - it provides a nice flavor boost that I particularly enjoy!
