Marinated Chicken Salad with Apple

September 23, 2021 by Faith 16 Comments

This recipe for Marinated Chicken Salad with Apple features juicy, flavorful grilled chicken that’s marinated with apple juice, onion, fresh herbs, and spices. It’s absolutely perfect in a fall-inspired salad with apple, pecans, and brie cheese.

I admit that my husband Mike is without a doubt the grillmaster in our house.

He’s very particular about the grilling process and basically has it down to a science. Which is why it was really strange when one day when I grilled (for like the second time, ever), he asked me how I made the chicken taste so good.

I had to laugh because I knew there was a compliment in there somewhere!…

This Warm Pasta Salad Recipe with Caramelized Leek, Bacon, and Goat Cheese is an elevated pasta salad that’s worthy of entertaining with. Crispy beef bacon, caramelized leeks, mushrooms, and garlic give it great depth of flavor. White wine brightens it up, and creamy goat cheese adds rich creaminess!

It just wasn’t one of my mom’s favorites, and we all know we get to eat what the cook likes, lol!...

Chickpeas bump up the protein and make it a filling, nutritious lunch or side dish. I’ve always loved hearty salads! Beans, grains, and green vegetables are some of my favorite additions to salads, not only because they’re satisfying and nutrient-dense, but also because they’re sturdy enough to keep well for a few days in the fridge....
