Even the Hubby liked it. I added apple like so many others. Subbed McCormick’s for Park Hill since we don’t have that in this region. It needed salt and I added a dash of tarragon. I will make this again for sure!

Very easy and tasty!

I can’t believe how good this is! I really was just looking for something to do with left overs from a whole chicken, mostly breast. I didn’t have celery so I increased the pecans to 1/2C and I put in about 2T additional onion. I served it in puff pastry shells, I’m sorry now that I didn’t take a picture. I will make this a standard for left over chicken, it’s sooooo good!

Traditionally I ate chicken salad, with hard boiled eggs,chopped chicken,mayonnaise, and onion, and chopped celery. I really liked the ingredients to this chicken salad with the toasted pecans, and maple flavor seasoning. I couldn’t find the maple pepper seasoning ,so I had to substitute McCormick’s Grill Mates Smoke House Maple seasoning. I added a full teaspoon, then the recipe states half a teaspoon for the maple pepper. I also added a small apple chopped and 2 tablespoons of chopped dried cranberries. The flavors are better when refrigerated as leftovers for the next day.

Delicious! I had made French onion chicken two nights ago and used it for this recipe. Served on a toasted brown bread roll. I may add some chopped apples next time.

I used regular black pepper instead. Tasted great.

Yummy! Lovely salad dressing ~ except the photo sure looks like chopped WALNUTS instead of pecans. !?!

There was no difference exuding the park hill pepper I substituted it by adding some Greek seasoning. It gave it a unique flavor that was just for me. That Park Hill pepper is no longer a staple in my cabinet at all and I will improvise and adapt every recipe that has it in it. Because it doesn’t mesh well with my digestion system therefore it is not a staple in my cabinet. Personally I like to the flavor without it and it is it’s own unique identifiers

I add a chopped up Granny Smith apple and sometimes I will add sliced grapes. I have also tried with dried crasins

Put the pecans in just before serving. Putting pecans In to far in advance, the nuts will not be as crunchy.

This was pretty good! I served it on a bed of butter lettuce with a few crackers. I think next time I’ll add some grapes or dried cranberries.. maybe a little finely diced sharp cheddar, too.
