SONOMA CHICKEN SALAD

After having the Sonoma Chicken Salad at Costco I was on a search to find a recipe to duplicate the taste. I found a good recipe on Wholefoods.com and tweaked it a bit. Of course, it's not exactly the same but I think it is very close. My sister says it reminds her of thanksgiving.

SONOMA CHICKEN SALAD

A classic adapted from The Whole Foods Market Cookbook. I believe they use a conola oil mayonnaise, but I think any good quality brand will do. You can, also, try it with grilled chicken.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
5 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup water
salt and pepper
3/4 cup pecan pieces, toasted
2 cups red seedless grapes, cut in half
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, honey, poppy seeds, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to dress the salad. This can be prepared up to 2 days ahead.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F Place the chicken breasts in one layer in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Add to the pan 1/2 cup water. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes until completely cooked through. Remove cooked chicken breasts from pan, cool at room temperature. Note: I find mixing the ingredients together while still slighly warm absorbs the flavors better.
  • When the chicken is cool, dice into bite-size chunks and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in pecans, grapes, celery and dressing.

  • If you don’t already have cooled chicken then cook it at this time (see notes for options). Cube the chicken when you are ready to use it. If you want your chicken to be shredded then make sure it’s warm when doing so, because this makes it shred a lot easier. Tip: I like to use my hand mixer to “shred” the chicken in a bowl. This is how I get really finely shredded chicken, and it’s so quick and easy too.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the pecans to a small rimmed baking sheet, spread into an even layer. Toast them into the oven for 3 minuets, toss, and toast another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pecans look darker in color and are fragrant – careful not to burn them. Instead, you could toast them in a dry skillet, on the stove, stirring frequently for about 3 to 5 minutes. This is a nice method if you don’t want to turn on your oven in the summer.
  • Chop the celery and halve the grapes – set aside. Once the pecans have cooled enough to handle use your fingers to break the pecans in half, or into thirds. I like doing this versus chopping them because I am more in control of the size I get of the pecans, and I don’t get a bunch of nut dust from chopping them.
  • To a large mixing bowl add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, poppy seeds, kosher salt, and black pepper – whisk until well combined.
