Original Recipe Yield 3 cups
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root
  • 1 star anise pod (optional)
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  •  
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  •  
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup diced apples
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root

Directions

  1. Place the 1-inch piece of ginger and star anise in a pot of water over medium-heat and bring to a boil. Add chicken to the water. Lower heat to medium-low; simmer until chicken is no longer pink the middle, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a plate to cool. Once cool to the touch, dice into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Make a dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, salt, pepper, paprika, and honey; set aside.
  3. Combine the diced chicken, celery, apple, onion, raisins, walnuts and 2 teaspoons minced ginger in a bowl. Drizzle dressing into the chicken mixture; stir until pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
