Tarragon Chicken Salad

Tarragon Chicken Salad

This is an easy, delicious chicken salad that will quickly become a family favorite. I use bone-in chicken breasts in this recipe, but you can easily substitute meat from a rotisserie chicken to save time.
Servings 6 People
Prep Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 half Chicken breasts bone-in, skin-on
  • 1.5 cups Red grapes sliced in half
  • 1 7 oz container Greek yogurt I like Fage
  • 1/2 cup Good mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dried tarragon or 1 Tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
  • 2 tsp White wine vinegar or cider, or rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
  • Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper
  • Roast for 40 - 45 minutes until internal temp reaches 160 degrees
  • While the chicken is baking mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, tarragon, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl and let rest so the flavors meld
  • Once chicken has cooled place remove the skin, take the meat off the bone, and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • Mix the grapes with the cut up chicken
  • Add half the dressing to the chicken/grape mixture. Mix well and add the remaining dressing in spoonfuls until you reach your desired creaminess. Save any remaining dressing.
  • Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes and up to two days.
  • Taste the salad and add a bit more dressing, if needed. Adjust the seasonings to your liking and serve on a bed of lettuce or in a sandwich.
