Pecan Chicken Salad
Added: 29th August 2006
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. boneless chicken breasts, well rinsed and patted dry
- 3 C. of chicken broth
- 1 pound of seedless green grapes
- 1 1/2 C. pecan halves
- 1 C. diced celery
- 1 C. chopped fresh dill
- 1 1/2 C. sour cream
- 1 1/2 C. mayonnaise
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 bunches watercress or salad greens
- Dill sprigs, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the chicken breast in a single layer in a shallow pan. Bring the broth to a boil. Pour enough broth in the baking pan to just cover the chicken breast. Lay a sheet of cooking parchment or aluminum foil over the chicken, and bake until cooked through, 30 minutes. Allow the chicken to cool in the liquid: then discard the liquid. Shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and place them in a large bowl. Add the grapes, pecans, celery, and chopped dill, and toss well. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream and mayonnaise together. Toss this into the chicken salad. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Serve on a bed of watercress or other salad greens, garnished with dill sprigs.
