1 tbsp butter
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 cup low-fat mayonnaise
3 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
4 cups chopped cooked chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups diced Granny Smith apples
1 cup diced celery
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat; add pecans. Cook pecans, stirring, for 6 to 8 minutes until they are toasted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, tarragon, lemon zest and juice. Stir in the chicken, apples, celery, and until just until well blended. Add salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 but up to 24 hours.
Just before serving, stir in 1/2 cup of the pecans. Sprinkle the remaining pecans over the top.
I have had this recipe for some time. I think I got it from Southern Living magazine. I noticed it because it is a lot like a chicken salad my daughter buys somewhere here in Texas.
