How to Make Balsamic Vinaigrette Chicken Salad
- Cook chicken breasts: Boil or bake 2 chicken breasts until cooked through (approximately 15-20 minutes). Shred or chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces once cooled.
- Prepare the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, gently combine the shredded chicken, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup dried cranberries, and the balsamic vinaigrette.
- Chill and serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve on croissants, bread, crackers, or lettuce cups.
