Waldorf Chicken Salad

A very versatile filling for a sandwich or wrap. You can go bold by adding in hot sauce and celery with carrots, you can go sweet with grapes and oranges, or even go exotic with curry. The one factor is generally mayonnaise, and while creamy and delicious, it packs excess fat and calories. This Waldorf chicken salad lightens it up with Greek yogurt. Savory Spice Shop(R) Park Hill maple pepper is a match made in heaven with this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 4 (6 ounce)s bone-in chicken thighs, with skin

Substituting a low-sodium chicken broth for the water and chicken bouillon will greatly reduce the sodium in this recipe.
