Orchard Chicken Salad (with a sweet, fruity twist) :)

Erin, how were the cake balls? I've had one before and it was only so-so. You'll have to let me know. So Congress is finally back in session, (as of September 7th) and I am so terrified! I really enjoyed the quiet hallways of the Capitol. I hope it goes well, and I don't get too stressed out! 


 Anyway, I'm always looking for recipes that I can make to take to work for lunch and I thought chicken salad was a great choice. I really like chicken salad with apples so I decided to google it and try to find a recipe that combined the two. I ended up finding a copycat recipe for Subway's orchard chicken salad. It is so good, but it is pretty sweet. I really like it though and from now on this will be my go to chicken salad recipe. 


P.S. Sam bought me a food processor the other day and WOW! It's awesome. It seriously saves you so much money, so this recipe took no time at all. I highly suggest buying one. You can find one that is not too expensive. The one I got was only $40 and it works so well! It is soooo worth it ;)


P.S.S. I'm trying the meatballs tonight!
