My mother makes the best "Pecan Chicken Salad"! She and one of her sisters used to own a restaurant and this was always one of their biggest sellers at lunch. They usually sold this as a salad plated with fresh fruit around it. I love it like that, but it's also really good on a fresh croissant as a sandwich. This is so much better than any you can buy already prepared, unless you do get it at a deli or restaurant where they make it fresh daily and it's so easy, why not make it yourself for half the cost! Here is what you will need:
4 cups cooked chicken breast meat, chopped or 2 (15oz). cans all white chicken (SAM's sells some that is really good)
1 1/2 cups sliced seedless grapes (red or white)
3/4 cup chopped celery
1 Tbs. sugar
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs. lemon juice
3/4 cup pecans
1 cup mayonnaise
Mix all ingredients and stir together. This chicken salad is so good with fresh fruit or on croissants as a sandwich.
