CRANBERRY PECAN CHICKEN SALAD

Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad image

This is a combination of a couple of chicken salad recipes we have enjoyed, also - had leftover chicken from a rotsserie chicken we had for dinner this evening and with the heat wave we're still experiencing here in Southeast GA, this recipe works well for a cool lunch on a hot day.

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 cups diced boneless skinless chicken
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise (made with canola oil preferably)
3 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed preferable)
1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning
salt & pepper

Steps:

Cut up cooked chicken into bite size cubes - should be enough to fill 3 cups & place in large bowl. Add dry seasonings, celery, dried cranberries, and pecans - toss with hands so as not to break up chicken cubes.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and lemon juice with small wire whisk & add to chicken mixture - gently toss all ingredients together and chill until ready to serve.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe cranberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
If you don't have any pecan pieces, you can use chopped walnuts or almonds instead.
If you're short on time, you can use store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
To make the salad ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, just spread the salad on some bread and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Creamy Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that's perfect for lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its creamy texture, sweet and tart cranberries, and crunchy pecans, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
