First of all, this recipe SHOULD NOT be under the Holiday listing, rather it should get much, much more exposure! This is BY FAR the most fabulous chicken salad I have EVER had! To add maximum flavor, I seasoned my chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper before throwing them on my ever fantastic George Foreman Grill and then saute'd my onions in butter prior to adding them to the salad. I threw in a handful of sunflower seeds, cut up about a cups worth of seedless green grapes, and substituded Miracle Whip for the plain ole mayo. Last but certainly not least, I used the Toasted Pecans recipe from this site and toasted my pecans before adding them. The flavors are so wonderful together. This chicken salad definately melts in your mouth. I can't wait to make this for a crowd of people!! THANKS SO MUCH, Elaine, this is truly spectacular!!!!

This is a wonderful chicken salad recipe. I was looking for something close to Arby's chicken salad and this was it. I omitted the green pepper and added chopped apples and sliced grapes. I highly recommend giving this recipe a shot. I'm glad I did!

Using ideas from previous reviewers, I added several dashes of poultry seasoning and garlic powder to the mayo mixture. Instead of 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries, I used 1/2 cup dried cranberries, 1/2 cup dried cherries, and about 1 cup of halved seedless green grapes. Omitted the green bell pepper since I don't care for it. Outstanding!! Huge hit at the covered-dish party I brought it to. Hubby loved it also!! I don't believe it serves 12 as listed, unless you make small sandwiches. I served it on lettuce leaves and it perhaps served 6 to 8.

This was an enormous hit at our Christmas progressive dinner-I served these as sandwiches on Hawaiian rolls.

I'm on a chicken salad binge.There are many great recipes for it on this side, but this one is almost perfect. It tends to be a little bland, but the addition of poultry seasoning, garlic powder to the mayo and some minced red onion makes it superb.Thanks Elaine.

I've made this twice now. It's good right on the same day it's made, however, it's excellent on day two or three. Give the flavors a chance to meld together. Beautiful on a croissant sandwich.

This is very good. I served it out croissants and my guests loved it. My husband said that maybe less cranberries next time and he is a cranberry lover! I toated the pecans beofre adding them to the mix, this is an important step I think. Thanks for a great recipe, I'll be using it again on Mothers Day.

Really good! Love the craisins & blend of flavors. Used mayo/miracle whip combo. Used red bell pepper, because I had one. Used leftover rotisserie chicken (shredded). Toasted pecans. This is a great recipe. Don't leave anything out--everything adds to the overall flavor! Be brave! I was, & I was not disappointed. Neither was my family. Everyone stood around in the kitchen eating it on crackers! Will be making again!!!

I subsituted raisins (grapes sound good, too) for the cranberries, left out the bell pepper and served it on raisin bread like a local restaurant does. We loved it!

I served these on mini potato rolls and had good results. I made these a while back and am just now getting around to writing a review for them, but I do remember they were good. I added dried cherries to mine.
