Chicken Pecan Salad image

The combination of sweet and spicy pecans and sweet berries in this chicken salad makes it a taste sensation! I have given tins of the pecans alone as gifts at Christmas time; they are delicious. The berries listed are suggestions; substitute whatever kinds you fancy, in whatever quantities! Makes a beautiful summer dinner.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons hot red pepper sauce
½ cup margarine, melted
⅔ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch salt
1 pound coarsely chopped pecans
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Greek seasoning
1 pound romaine lettuce, torn
1 cup cherry tomato halves
½ cup fresh strawberries
½ cup seedless grapes
¼ cup fresh raspberries
¼ cup fresh blueberries
½ cup honey mustard salad dressing

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a bowl, mix the hot red pepper sauce, margarine, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and salt. Mix pecans into the bowl, tossing to coat evenly. Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring often and watching carefully, until lightly browned. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Rub chicken with the olive oil, place on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with Greek seasoning. Bake 20 minutes or until juices run clear. Slice into strips.
  • In a salad bowl, toss together romaine lettuce, chicken strips, cherry tomato halves, strawberries, grapes, raspberries, and blueberries. Sprinkle with pecans, and drizzle with dressing.
