Copycat Panera's Fuji Apple Chicken Salad

Panera Bread is famous for their drool-worthy salads. They just seem to have a knack for combining ingredients that have the right amount of sweetness, tang and crunch — and their Fuji apple chicken salad is no exception. While we love going to Panera and ordering this salad, it’s hard to resist also buying a dozen of their cookies. That’s where our copycat version of the recipe, inspired by Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice, comes in. It has the same ingredients and flavor and you can eat it in the comfort of your home anytime — without being talked into cookies. Oh, you can still eat homemade cookies afterwards. We don’t judge. Making this salad at home starts with the base salad: a mixture of the field greens and chopped romaine gives your salad the right texture and flavor. A bag of mixed salad greens from the supermarket typically contains a blend of Swiss chard, arugula, radicchio, baby romaine, frisee and baby spinach. Add in a couple of cups of chopped leafy romaine and you have your base. Fuji apples are the star of the show and are known for their sweet crunch, making them perfect for salads and pies. Gala apples make a good substitute, as they are also on the sweeter end of the spectrum and are delicious in salads. If you want this salad to be less sweet and more tart, consider a Red Delicious or Honeycrisp apple. Feta cheese compliments the sweetness of the Fuji apple. However if you aren’t a fan of feta, ricotta salata cheese has the same crumbly texture, but isn’t as salty. If you do use ricotta salata, you may need to add a few dashes of salt to get the same flavor. Goat cheese is another great option, and it also contains the salty kick you need for this salad. For those that want a dairy-free option, tofu cheeses are a good substitute. For the chicken in this salad, you can save yourself a step and pick up a rotisserie chicken at the market. If you want to add that special homemade touch, rub olive oil on chicken breasts, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and bake until cooked through and no longer pink. Either way, shred the cooled chicken with a couple of forks for chops into small pieces. The “special sauce” of the salad is definitely the dressing and it brings the whole thing together. The dressing the right blend of honey, white wine vinegar and Dijon mustard to balance out the sweet with the tang. But it’s not done yet! The addition of apple chips brings the flavor up to a whole other level. You can crunch up a few apple chips and mix into the salad, however laying a few whole pieces on top of the salad makes for a great presentation. Sprinkle in a few toasted pecans (trust us, the toasting really brings the flavor up a notch!) and you have a copycat Fuji Apple Chicken Salad that puts the real deal to shame.
