Food & Drink > Salad Recipes Recipes: Chicken and apple salad

21 of 21

This is a great recipe when you remember on the way home that you've got no food in the house! Just pick up a rotisserie chicken on the way home from work. Many supermarket deli counters now roast their own chickens and these are often quite good. If you have some chicken left over from a roast, use that instead.

Kent in England and Normandy in France are famed for the quality and variety of their apples, and this recipe sort of nods in that direction.

Flake the chicken into a bowl, keeping the meat nice and chunky. Sprinkle with rough sea salt and lots of pepper.
