This is the best chicken salad that I have ever made. The original recipe was from a Southern Living magazine. But I have changed a few things to suit my taste!

SOUTHERN HONEY-CHICKEN SALAD



Southern Honey-Chicken Salad image

This is the best chicken salad I've ever made. It's a little fancier than my 'regular' chicken salad, and it's a nice presentation with whole grain crackers (like the Kashi crackers) or put a scoop on a large spinach leaf. Great for a brunch event. The different textures of the ingredients and the sweet "dressing" make a great combination. I found this recipe in The 2006 Southern Living Annual Recipes collection, hence the "Southern" name. Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups chopped cooked chicken
3 celery ribs, diced (about 1 cup)
1 cup sweet dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups light mayonnaise
1/3 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • NOTE: For the chicken, I use 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, baked. You can also use a rotissiere chicken or left-over baked chicken.
  • Toast the pecans lightly in a dry frying pan over medium-low heat or in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Set aside.
  • Combine first 4 ingredients (chicken, celery, cranberries, and pecans).
  • Whisk together mayonnaise and next 3 ingredients until mixed.
  • Add to chicken mixture, stirring gently until combined.
  • Garnish with additional pecans, if desired.
  • Chill 1-2 hours before serving with crackers or on individual salad greens.
