🍛 4. Perfect Curry Chicken Salad (Sous Vide Method)
Take your tastebuds on a trip with this perfectly balanced curry chicken salad. The sous vide cooking method ensures ultra-tender chicken every time, while curry powder, golden raisins, and the addition of apricot jam bring a sweet-spicy harmony.
Alternative Cooking Method:
No sous vide? No problem! You can poach the chicken instead. Just place the Springer Mountain Farms Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts in a pot with enough water or chicken broth to cover them. Add aromatics like onion, garlic, or a bay leaf if you like. Bring to a gentle simmer, then cook for 15–18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let the chicken rest and cool before shredding for the salad.
Why You'll Love It: Whether sous vide or stovetop, the flavor stays bold and the chicken remains juicy.
🍎 5. Chicken Waldorf Salad
This fresh and crunchy salad is a modern take on the classic Waldorf. Made with Springer Mountain Farms chicken, juicy grapes, celery, and slivered almonds in a creamy dressing, it's inspired by the original but skips the apples for a slightly savory twist.
Serving Suggestion: Serve on a buttery croissant, or try it in a lettuce wrap or spooned into endive leaves for an elegant presentation.
