This is a great twist on an old favorite, chicken salad. The fruit and pecans are a sweet and nutty way to make this a fun dish to serve most anytime. Prepare it early and put it in the refrigerator, it will keep for a few days and makes a great go-to meal when you don’t have time to cook.
3 cups chicken breast, cut-up
1/2 cup diced celery
1/3 cup green onions, cut-up
1 large apple, diced
1/3 cup cranberries
1 cup grapes, cut-up
1/2 cup pecans
Pepper to taste
1/2 tsp curry powder
