Tarragon Chicken Salad

Casey Rooney
This Tarragon Chicken Salad is a classic recipe that pairs tender chicken with the slightly sweet and anise-like flavors of fresh tarragon. The chicken is coated in a light, creamy dressing and paired with sweet grapes and crunchy nuts. This salad is perfect for sandwiches, in lettuce cups or wrapped in a tortilla. It's super easy to prep ahead for lunches or a light weeknight dinner.
