Share:
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 2.5 pounds cooked white chicken
- 3/4 cup Chopped Pecans
- 1/8 cup diced red onion
- 3/4 cup finely diced celery
- 1 cup sliced red grapes
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, ground black pepper, sugar, salt, and seasoned salt.
- Stir the salad dressing very well.
- Add in the cooked white chicken, chopped pecans, diced red onion, finely diced celery, and stir well. After the salad is well combined, gently fold in the sliced red grapes.
- Placed the salad in an air-tight container, and allow the salad to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- The Secret to Moist Chicken: The unique cooking method described above—quick sear followed by gentle steaming—is key to chicken that's moist and flavorful rather than bland and waterlogged from poaching or dry from overcooking.
- Texture Balance: For the best texture contrast, make sure to dice the chicken, celery, and onions to a similar size (about ¼-½ inch pieces), but keep the pecan pieces slightly larger for that satisfying crunch.
- Chilling Time Matters: While it's tempting to serve immediately, allowing the prepared chicken salad to chill for at least 30 minutes (or ideally 2 hours) allows the flavors to develop and meld together, resulting in a much more flavorful final product.
