Image
The other day Erica said, "Mom is your chicken salad recipe on your blog?" She wanted to make it, and I realized it had not yet made the blog. I thought, now would be a good time to get it posted, plus I was in the mood for some tasty chicken salad, some comfort food, so here goes..... Paula Deen's Pecan Chicken Salad As found on  Yummy . (I did add a bit of sugar to the dressing which is not in the recipe) Here is a link to the recipe in PDF   if you want to make a copy. Served with grapes and crackers and a nice glass of white wine.  Very Good! I will give this recipe a 9/10 on my cooking scale.  I have not had much luck with new recipes lately, so it was nice to return to an oldie but goodie. If you are in the mood for chicken salad I suggest you give this recipe a try. Don't forget to add some sugar! Happy Eating! KathieyV:-)
