There are so many chicken salad recipes out there, but I promise this will be the last one you will ever need! It's an awesome balance of savory with a hint of sweetness. Tender chicken with crunchy celery, sweet grapes and toasted pecans.
Combine chicken, grapes and celery in a large bowl and set aside.
To a dry medium skillet, toast pecans over medium high heat.
Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Place pecans onto a paper towel or plate and cool for 5 minutes.
Add pecans to the chicken mixture.
In a separate medium bowl mix together dressing ingredients until well combined.
Toss dressing mixture with chicken mixture to coat well.
Chill chicken salad 1 hour before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Serve between a sliced croissants.
* I really like to use a rotisserie chicken with this recipe. It’s super tasty and very easy to use!
* I like to use the center celery stalks for this recipe. They are more tender and not as “stringy” as the outside stalks. I include chopping up the leaves and all. They add great flavor and color!
