How to Make Barbecue Chicken And Grape Salad
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, combine onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken breasts to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
- Wrap the skillet handle in foil for oven safety.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken cool slightly before refrigerating until completely chilled (at least 30 minutes).
- Once chilled, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 teaspoon salt, halved green grapes, red onion, celery, parsley, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey.
- Add the chopped chicken to the bowl.
- Gently toss to coat the chicken evenly with the dressing.
- Sprinkle with chopped walnuts before serving and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
