APRICOT PECAN CHICKEN SALAD



Apricot Pecan Chicken Salad image

During the week, I sometimes grab lunch at Whole Foods. The hot foods and salad bars are extensive but I go there especially for two things: cabbage crunch and apricot chicken salad. Given the chance, I can eat these for lunch everyday. It really is hard to go wrong with chicken salad but adding sweet, juicy, dried apricots livens up this classic lunch dish. For my own recipe, I used the left over roasted chicken but, really, any well seasoned pieces of chicken breast (pre-cooked) can be used. www.healthyandgourmet.blogspot.com

APRICOT CHICKEN SALAD



Apricot Chicken Salad image

The cayenne pepper and sweet apricot preserve combination is a great balance. Got this from a magazine a few years ago, perhaps Everyday Food. A bit more sophisticated than regular chicken salad.
