Steps
Step 1
Poach the chicken
Cover the chicken breasts with water and poach gently for 12 minutes.

Cool the chicken
Drain the chicken and cool it on a clean plate for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Dice the chicken
Cut the fully cooled chicken into 2 cm cubes.
Step 5
Cut the apples
Core and cut the apples into 1.5 cm cubes, then toss immediately with half the lemon juice.
Step 6
Prepare grapes and celery
Halve all the grapes and slice the celery into 5 mm pieces.
Step 7
Toast the walnuts
Toast the walnuts in a dry pan over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring halfway.
Step 8

Common mistakes
- Warm chicken can split the mayonnaise; cool it completely before mixing.
Tips
Toss the apple with lemon juice immediately after cutting to slow browning.
