  2. Add the cooked chicken, diced apple, celery, and onions to the mayo mixtures and stir until well combined.

  4. Serve in a lettuce wrap, on a bed of greens or in a tortilla wrap or between slices of your favorite bread.

  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. 

Notes

  • If red onions are too ‘hot’ for you, try using a combination of the white and green parts of 1-2 green onions. 
  • If you don’t care for raisins you can substitute golden raisins, currants or even dried cranberries or sliced red grapes. 
  • For egg-free, use a vegan or plant-based mayonnaise. 
  • For a lower fat option, substitute ½ of the mayo with plain Greek yogurt
  • Use spicy or Madras-style curry powder if you prefer a little more heat.
