There are many good variations on the classic chicken salad and this is one of my favorites. You can substitute roasted pecans for the almonds. I also added dried cranberries and I’d suggest adding more tarragon than the suggested 1 tablespoon. I doubled this recipe which worked well for my book club group of 11 people. Recipe follows: I boiled the chicken one day in advance so making this salad is quick and easy the day of the event.
Ps I served with the mixed green salad with Roquefort/bleu cheese, candied pecans from Trader Joe’s, pears and avocados. Recipe These two salads pair well.
Here is the pear/avocado salad recipe. You can use Roquefort, bleu, gorgonzola. I used Bleu cheese crumbled.You can make your own candied nuts but i bought them already candied at TJ's. I always double the dressing recipe.The Chicken salad recipe I doubled everything but the mayo i used 1 1/2 cups mayo and 1/2 cup greek plain yogurt. I read in commments that you can use yoghurt in place of or added to the mayo or also use sour cream. I used two roasted Costco chickens but only used the meat from one because it looked like too much otherwise. The recipe calls for 2 Lb. boneless chicken breasts. I think fresh tarragon makes the difference. I only used juice of one lemon.
