1 cup pecan halves (about 3 ounces), broken in half lengthwise
1 whole roasted chicken (about 3 pounds), skin removed
8 scallions, white and light-green parts only, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 stalks celery, strings removed and thinly sliced
8 ounces lady apples (about 4), or Fuji apples (about 2 medium), cored and sliced into bite-size pieces
5 tablespoons golden or dark raisins
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh oregano leaves
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Sour Cream Dressing

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast in oven until fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan; let cool completely.
Pull chicken from the bone; discard bones, and cut meat into 3/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a medium bowl; add scallions, celery, apples, raisins, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Add dressing; toss to combine. Chill, covered, until ready to serve.
