This salad combination is one of my favorites! It’s like the salad version of my apple cheddar stuffed chicken. The juicy chicken, crisp sliced apple and shaved cheddar go so well together. Then add some pecans and chopped turkey bacon to give it some crunch!

For the chicken, I just baked mine with some olive oil, salt and pepper! Click here for a simple baked chicken recipe. I always get my chicken from Butcher Box because I know it’s great quality and it gets delivered right to my door. I feel now is a great time to give Butcher Box a try.

You could also grill the chicken. I love grilled chicken on salads. If you want to keep it really easy, just buy a rotisserie chicken and use that! Then you have yourself a meal ready in no time.

I got fancy with the shaved cheddar cheese. I just used a vegetable peeler to shave it from a block. You can just chop yours into small pieces. For the apple I cut them into matchsticks. However, sliced or chopped works too! Either way it will be delicious!
