Southern Pecan Chicken Salad

Makes 12 servings

Ingredients:

8 cups chopped cooked chicken (2 rotisserie chickens from the grocery store)

2 cups halved red seedless grapes

1 1/4 cups toasted chopped pecans

1/2 cup chopped green onion

10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise

1 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

To toast pecans: place them in a cast iron skillet on the stove and watch them carefully, as you don't want them to burn.

Combine chicken, grapes, pecans, green onion, and bacon in a large bowl. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Combine mayonnaise mixture with chicken mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready serve. Also great served on croissants!
