CHICKEN, PECAN & CHERRY SALAD



Chicken, Pecan & Cherry Salad image

Already cooked chicken strips make this a super easy meal when I'm trying to get dinner on the table in a hurry. Grabbing a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store is another road to take when time is short and hungry family members surround the table! -Kellie Mulleavy, Lambertville, Michigan

CHERRY CHICKEN SALAD



Cherry Chicken Salad image

After dining at a cafe in Michigan about 10 years ago, I tried duplicating this scrumptious twist on Chicken Salad at home. The cherries can be ordered on-line these days, which makes it much easier for those of us living where cherries are not readily available. Regular milk can be substituted for buttermilk, if necessary.
