Step-by-Step Instructions for Waldorf Chicken Pasta Salad
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the chicken breasts and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Once done, drain the chicken, allow it to cool slightly, then chop or shred into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same pot, bring fresh water to a boil again, adding a pinch of salt. Stir in the bow tie pasta and cook per the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Once finished, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, diced celery, and chopped green onions. Stir gently to combine.
- In a separate measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, coarse ground pepper, and dried parsley until smooth. Pour it over the chicken mixture.
- Gently fold in the cooked bow tie pasta, halved red seedless grapes, and sliced almonds into the chicken mixture. Toss until everything is evenly mixed.
- Once mixed, taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary. Chill before serving, or serve at room temperature.
