Number Of Ingredients 9

4 c cooked chicken breast, cubed
1 1/2 c green or red seedless grapes, sliced
1 c pecans, chopped
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/4 c sour cream
2 Tbsp honey
3/4 c celery, chopped fine (optional)
1 tsp poppy seeds (optional)
seasoning to taste (i use cajun seasoning, like tony cachere's)

Steps:

1. Combine seasoned chicken, grapes, celery (if used) and pecans in a large bowl, set aside.
2. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, honey and poppy seeds in a small bowl to blend. Add to chicken mixture.
3. Toss well to coat. Serve over lettuce, or with your favorite bread or crackers.
4. Note: the original recipe doesn't call for celery. I add it when I want to change the taste up a bit and add a little more crunch. It's equally delicious either way. Another variation is to use dried cranberries in place of the grapes.
