YUMMY PECAN CHICKEN SALAD
This is a rich chicken salad, a family recipe that has been tested many years. It is great for a filling for popovers or croissants. If I don't want it quite so rich I leave out the pecans. But actually, with the addition of the nuts, it really puts the taste over the top!

Steps:
- 1. Chop the cooked chicken into pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse 3-4 times to small pieces.
- 2. Chop the celery up in the food processor, pulsing 3-4 times. Pecans and olives can be processed or chopped by hand.
- 3. Mix together the chicken, olives, celery and nuts. I usually add about 1/4 cup of the olive juice from the jar. This makes the chicken salad not so dry without having to add more mayo.
- 4. Add the relish. Add a little mayo at the time until it is the consistency that you like. I don't add any more mayo than I have to. I like to stop just as it comes together and no longer looks dry.
