Equipment

  • Oven
  • Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans toasted
  • 4 cups chopped chicken
  • 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
  • 3 celery ribs chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup orange blossom honey
  • 1 1/2 cups mayo
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread pecans on a baking sheet and bake until lightly browned and fragrant, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely after removing from the oven.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cranberries, celery, mayo, honey, salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  • Gently fold in the toasted pecans into the chicken salad mix.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature atop lettuce or your desired greens for an extra crunch.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, season the chicken with salt and pepper before cooking.
  • Use store-bought roasted chicken if you don't have time to cook your own.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of honey or mayo used to achieve desired flavor and texture.
  • This is also great with canned chicken, just make sure to drain it well before using.
