PECAN CHICKEN SALAD WITH APPLES AND GRAPES



Pecan Chicken Salad with Apples and Grapes image

Use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery, or make your own roasted chicken, for this recipe. The fruit brings a slightly sweet taste, and the celery and pecans give great texture. This chicken salad is right at home on a croissant for lunch, or on a bed of lettuce with a side of cantaloupe for brunch.

YUMMY PECAN CHICKEN SALAD



Yummy Pecan Chicken Salad image

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!

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 rotisserie chicken, skinned and boned or 3 chicken breasts and two thighs cooked
1 c chopped celery
1 c chopped green olives plus some of the liquid
1 c finely chopped pecans
3/4 c mayonnaise
1/4 c sweet pickle relish

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.
