Chicken Waldorf Salad

This recipe is a perfect way to use leftover chicken or turkey. If you don’t have leftovers, try this quick cooking tip: Place about 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water (or low-sodium chicken broth) to cover, then bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and is no longer pink in the middle (about 10-15 minutes). Chill chicken thoroughly before adding to remaining salad ingredients.
