Notes
- I like to toast the pecans before adding them to the chicken salad because it gives them great flavor and texture. To toast the pecans. place them in a pan over medium heat. I usually spray it with a light spray of cooking oil. Heat pecans for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. Then move the pecans to a cutting board and chop them.
