Elegant and rich with a creamy, buttery texture, this is the best chicken salad I've ever eaten! The original recipe was served at Yankee Peddler's Tea Room in Missouri and I've adjusted to taste. This is an excellent chicken salad for croissants, or serve on a bed of greens with melon and fruit on the side for a wonderful summer meal.

Steps:

- Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked.

- Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews and serve at room temperature.
