From the Test Kitchen

Our take on the classic Waldorf salad features traditional ingredients like walnuts, celery, fruit, and tender chicken—plus a flavorful twist on the typical creamy dressing thanks to a combo of whole grain mustard, fromage blanc, and honey.

Cook 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a cutting board; roughly chop.
