MY NOTES: I made this pretty much as written but added a bit of sugar to it.
I also used Freeze dried apples and Freeze dried celery as well as part Freeze dried chicken (because I didn't have enough leftover chicken). I rehydrated the FD foods in a ziploc bag to which I added the grapes and pepper. Once hydrated, I made sure that all liquid was absorbed and then just added the lemon juice, mayo and bit of sugar to the bag and squished it around to mix. Nice and neat! VERY GOOD!!!!
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups of grilled chicken breast cut into small pieces
1 cup of diced red apple
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup of grapes sliced in half
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 to 3/4 cup of mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of lemon juice (juice of one small lemon)
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
In a medium sized bowl add diced apple, and one tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir lemon juice into apples coating them well. This will help keep the apples from turning brown. Add chicken, sliced grapes, diced celery, and pecans. Mix well until everything is mixed through. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, if the mixture is too dry you can add another 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow flavors to marry in a covered bowl in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving.
To prepare sandwich like Arby's use thickly sliced wheat bread, add a couple of slices of green leaf lettuce, and add about 1 cup of chicken salad to the sandwich.
While they do not toast their pecans, I think you could easily bring this salad to the next level by toasting the pecans in a skillet on medium high heat just until they become fragrant. Allow the pecans to cool completely before preparing the chicken salad.
