Chicken and Apple Panzanella Salad

October 25, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 6 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Saturday to you! Well the cool weather is kicking in here in Northern California. They are predicting rain and possible thunderstorms, which is pretty rare. Not that I like rain on the weekend, but we need it, plus it will be nice to just stay inside. My day is planned on cooking and baking and of course the dreaded housework.   Today’s recipe is something that I made for dinner last night. It’s a fabulous Fall salad, that can be made in a matter of a few minutes. It’s my Chicken and Apple Panzanella Salad.
Chicken and Apple Panzanella Salad
When creating this recipe, I had an idea in mind, but when I told my Husband I was planning on adding either sweet potatoes or butternut squash to it, he said ewww! As you may know he is not a fan of either vegetable. He actually came up with the idea of adding apples to my dish in place of his dreaded vegetables. So I took his idea and made it my own. So what is in the Chicken and Apple Panzanella Salad? It is made with Honey Crisp Apples, Cranberry Walnut Bread, rotisserie chicken and creamy goat cheese. I topped the salad with pomegranate arils and a simple balsamic maple dressing. The salad was amazing and very filling.  Trust me a little bit goes a long way.
Chicken and Apple Panzanella Salad
The salad has a nice crispiness from the cranberry walnut bread that I bought from Trader Joe’s. Plus the cranberries in the bread gave it a little chewiness. The apples made it a sweet crunch and the goat cheese made it ultra creamy, which I just love. It’s kind of healthy substitute for mayonnaise. The chicken was a cheat, and I used a rotisserie chicken that I picked up from the grocery store on my way home from work. The flavors of the salad all combined together just screamed Fall. I was actually impressed on how well it went together. Even the picky Husband loved it! That actually shocked me.

For the dressing that was also a cheat. These days I have been looking for short-cuts while cooking. I mixed together Trader Joe’s fat-free balsamic with a little bit of maple syrup. I tasted it together and thought it tasted ok, but when mixed in with the salad, oh my gosh it blew my mind. It is pure sweet and savory. This salad to me has everything that  I crave and I think it would be a sure hit at your next holiday party. Plus it can be made in advance, which is perfect.

A fall bread salad made with chicken, apples, goat cheese and topped with pomegranate arils and a balsamic maple dressing.
Serves: 6 cups
Ingredients
  • 4 cups cranberry walnut bread, cut into cubes (250 grams)
  • ½ tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Honey Crisp apple, cored, diced
  • ¼ cup pomegranate arils
  • 8 oz. chicken, cooked, diced or shredded
  • 2 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp. balsamic dressing (I used Trader Joe's fat free balsamic)
  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. In a large bowl add cranberry walnut bread and toss with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 3 minutes, flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Be sure to watch it, because it seems to burn a little bit quicker than normal croutons.
  3. In the bowl that you tossed the bread in, add apple, pomegranate arils, and chicken. Once bread is cooked at the bread, and goat cheese. Mix until combined.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together balsamic dressing and maple syrup. Mix until well combined. Pour dressing over the salad and mix until everything has been covered in dressing.
  5. You can serve right away or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Chicken and Apple Panzanella Salad
I just love this salad. It kind of looks like Christmas doesn’t it? It actually reminds me a chicken salad sandwich deconstructed into a salad. I do have to say again, the flavors of this salad really go together wonderfully. It exceeded my expectations and also my Husbands.

I do want to tell you that all of the ingredients, including the cooked chicken can be bought at Trader Joe’s. I think they have the best prices on cheese and produce.

Have a wonderful Saturday. Stay tuned for a brand new recipe tomorrow that I had on my foodie bucket list.

Toodles,


Jennifer

      Thanks for letting me know Marla. Hmmmm, not sure why that happened. I pinned them just fine. I noticed lately that my blog does some off the wall things.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
