Summer Pecan-Chicken Salad

Recipe #302950 | 1 hour | 30 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Trinkets

A great summer dinner with grilled chicken and rice. The original recipe came from the GA Pecan Commission. It's so easy and really great on hot summer nights served with a little corn bread and a chilled dry, white wine. *For the salad dressing I use Garlic Vinaigrette and for the Creole Sesaonings I use Emeril's Creole Seasoning
