MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Arby's Grilled Chicken & Pecan Salad Categories: Poultry, Fruits, Nuts, Citrus Yield: 4 Servings 1 c Diced red apple * 1 tb Lemon juice 2 1/2 c Grilled chicken breast; - diced 1/4" 1 c Halved grapes 1/2 c Chopped celery 1 c Chopped pecans 1/2 c (to 3/4 c) mayonnaise Salt & pepper Lettuce leaves; opt Thick-sliced wheat bread; - opt * I used a "Cosmic Crisp" apple which worked nicely. I have also used shredded rotissiere chicken. -- UDD Place the diced apples in a medium-sized bowl. Add one tablespoon of lemon juice and stir to coat the apples to prevent them from turning brown. Add the chicken, grapes, celery, and pecans to the bowl and mix well. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and stir to combine. If the mixture is too dry you can add another 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the flavors to marry in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving. If you would like to serve the chicken salad as a sandwich, place about 1 cup of chicken salad and a few lettuce leaves between two thick slices of wheat bread. NOTES: While Arby's does not toast their pecans, you could easily bring this salad to the next level by toasting the pecans in a skillet on medium-high heat until fragrant. Allow the pecans to cool completely before adding them to the salad. Author: Stephanie Manley RECIPE FROM: https://copykat.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchen MMMMM ....
