LIZZY'S FAMOUS PECAN CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• 1. I buy canned chicken from Sams club,(chiefs choice chicken breast) if you would rather cook your own chicken you can, just boil 3 lbs of chicken breast and shred.
• 2. Wash and dry your grapes, I chop my grapes in fourths, so the pieces aren't too big
• 3. Wash and dry your Apples, I core and then dice my apples into large bite size hunks
• 4. Wash and dry your spring onions, you may use regular yellow or white onions if you have them, I prefer Spring onions, gives it a little more of a fresher taste in my opinion.
• 5. Wash and dry your celery, cut off both ends of the stalk, and dice up celery into small pieces ****ONCE YOU HAVE DICED UP ALL YOUR INGREDIENTS,PLACE LEMON JUICE OVER THEM IN A LARGE BOWL,TO KEEP THE APPLES AND GRAPES FROM TURNING BAD******
• 6. In a separate bowl, mix together the Miracle Whip and milk, lemon juice salt and pepper,dill weed and sugar, set aside.

Add Pecans (again Optional) Stir ONCE more, and then place in fridge, better if sits over night, otherwise ready in about 2-3 hours.
