Sonoma Chicken Salad


















This chicken salad is one of my granddaughter's, Ally, favorites. The recipe is from Whole Foods. Makes enough for 10 guests. It is very yummy!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 5 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 cup pecan pieces, toasted
  • 2 cups red seedless grapes, cut into fourths
  • 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
Directions
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to dress the salad. This can be prepared up to 2 days in advance.

Preheat the oven to 375-degrees. Place chicken breasts in one layer in a baking dish with 1/2-cup water.  Cover with foil and bake for 25-40 minutes until completely cooked through. Remove the cooked breast and cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate.

When the chicken is cold, dice into bite-size pieces and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in pecans, grapes, celery and dressing.
