Where to find ingredients
For ingredients like mayonnaise and plain yogurt, you can find them in the dairy or condiment aisles of most supermarkets. Raisins and celery are also readily available in the produce or baking sections. Apples can be found in the produce section. Fresh basil can be bought in the herb section of larger supermarkets or specialty produce stores. If you can't find fresh basil, dried basil can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be less intense. You can roast and shred your own chicken, or purchase pre-cooked shredded chicken in the refrigerated section of many supermarkets. Lemon is available year-round in the produce section.
Preparation method
- Carefully shred all the roasted chicken
- In a large bowl, mix the raisins with the chopped celery
- Drizzle the apple cubes with lemon juice to prevent them from browning
- Add the apple to the bowl with the shredded chicken
- Prepare the dressing in a separate bowl by combining the yogurt with the mayonnaise
- Season the mayonnaise mixture with basil leaves
- Incorporate the dressing into the chicken mixture
- Gently stir all ingredients until they are well coated with the dressing
- Garnish with a sprig of parsley before serving
