Notes: Variations
Add more fruits and nuts, such as dried cranberries and candied cashews.
For more flavor, use other cuts of chicken.
Instead of chicken, try turkey!
Give it a little kick with cayenne pepper or curry.
Add earthiness by seasoning it with thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
Use light or fat-free mayo, instead or Greek yogurt for somthing lighter.
For an acidic contrast, add a touch of dijon mustard and a splash of lemon juice.
Toast the pecans to bring out their flavor. You’ll want them in the oven at a 325-degree-Fahrenheit oven for 7 to 10 minutes.
Chop the ingredients into small pieces for effortless bites. If the chicken is too big, you won’t get a nice blend of flavors.
Use sweet apples rather than tart. The sweetness gives a lovely contrast to the savory ingredients.
