EXPERT TIPS
- We tested this recipe with a Gala apple, but you can substitute a Granny Smith green apple or any other apple you prefer.
- This Chicken, Almond and Apple Salad Tortilla Pockets recipe can be served immediately, or the chicken salad can be stored in a tightly covered container for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator and stuffed into the tortilla pockets just before serving.
- For cut-up cooked chicken in a hurry, pick up a rotisserie chicken in the deli section of most grocery stores.
