Brussels Sprouts, Chicken, and Apple Salad Recipe
I have shared a picture and video of this meal over on social media a few times recently and got some requests for the recipe. If you love brussel sprouts, this one is for you. If you don’t, please don’t write if off yet, because you could substitute them for cauliflower or broccoli. I think what makes it so delicious is the dressing. Yum. We have been adding the brussels sprouts, chicken, and apple salad recipe into our weekly rotation for a few weeks and don’t see it stopping any time soon. Here is the recipe.
Brussels Sprouts, Chicken, and Apple Salad Recipe
As you probably know, we try to eat very healthy. We both feel so much better when we eat whole foods rather than anything processed. This brussels sprouts, chicken, and apple salad recipe is full of great fiber. The apples make it sweet and the dressing makes it a little tangy. I love those two things in one recipe. It takes awhile to chew, so beware. Ha! We say that most recipes take so much longer to make than to eat and this one is the opposite. We really enjoy it.
Brussels Sprouts, Chicken, and Apple Salad
Ingredients
- 8 oz Boneless Chicken Breast Leftovers work well
- 1.5 cup Brussels Sprouts Chopped Small
- 1 small Apple Diced
- 4 tbsp Walnuts Chopped
Dressing
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Maple Syrup
- 1/2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook until done. You can obviously cook them in a pan stovetop, bake, or grill. Once done, chop into bite size pieces. Add that to a bowl along with the following.
- Thinly slice brussels sprouts, (the thinner the better) chop the apple, and walnuts and add to the same bowl.
- In a small bowl, make the dressing by mixing together all of the ingredients and add salt and pepper. See note below.
- Drizzle dressing over the salad and serve.
NOTE: I happen to love my dressings a bit more tart or tangy, so I normally drizzle more apple cider vinegar over my entire salad once it’s in my bowl.
When Deb has the grill fired up, she will cook a lot of things at once. So leftover chicken is normally what we use for this. Therefore this recipe takes only a few minutes. Like I said above, you could substitute the brussels sprouts for cauliflower or broccoli. It would be delicious with feta cheese, green onions, or you could substitute walnuts with pumpkin seeds.
Let me know if you try it.

Please look up the correct spelling of this vegetable. It is Brussels, named for the city in Europe. Even when referring to a single sprout it it spelled and pronounced with an s on the end!!
Please make sure you don’t say “it it” when chastising someone else for their small grammatical error. Yours should say “it is”.
