Apple Almond Chicken Salad

Penny Kovacs
This Apple Almond Chicken Salad is still one of my favorites. It's perfect for meal prepping for lunches too. It’s the perfect Paleo and Whole30 lunch as it gives you your protein, veggies, fat and fruit all in one bowl! I love all the textures in this salad like crispy apples, chewy cranberries, tender chicken and crunchy almond slivers!
